  HtmlParser.Parse does NOT throw any error , but the pdf file generated from this could be blank/empty.

  Debug output shows the messages from parser, if Html file has invalid structure.
  

  The post of Creating pdf in .NET from html has a lot of interesting comments,

  including suggestion  to use HTML Agility Pack.
