Lint does not recognize rep5 content when files can't be parsed

[marcoXbresciani]

See the current head of my project at http://hg.savannah.nongnu.org/hgweb/wwwjdic/file/tip.

Running reuse lint seems that even if those "unparseable" files (that are automatically generated, I can't solve the parsing issue) are specifically listed in the dep5 file, the project is no REUSE compliant.

Could not parse 'GPL-3.0-or-later #++</p>'
Could not parse 'FSFAP</p>'
Could not parse 'FSFAP</pre>'
reuse.report - ERROR - Unexpected error occurred while parsing 'html\Gemfile.html'
KeyError: 'path'
reuse.report - ERROR - Unexpected error occurred while parsing 'html\Rakefile.html'
KeyError: 'path'
reuse.report - ERROR - Unexpected error occurred while parsing 'html\WWWJDic.html'
KeyError: 'path'
# READ ERRORS

Could not read:
* html\WWWJDic.html
* html\Rakefile.html
* html\Gemfile.html


# SUMMARY

* Bad licenses:
* Deprecated licenses:
* Licenses without file extension:
* Missing licenses:
* Unused licenses:
* Used licenses: BSD-3-Clause, CC-BY-2.5, FSFAP, GFDL-1.3-or-later, GPL-3.0-or-later, OFL-1.1
* Read errors: 3
* Files with copyright information: 132 / 132
* Files with license information: 132 / 132

Unfortunately, your project is not compliant with version 3.0 of the REUSE Specification :-(

Might be associated to #246 .

Yes, that's the case. In these files, it seemingly finds license/copyright info, but cannot parse the format. See [here](http://hg.savannah.nongnu.org/hgweb/wwwjdic/file/b9e5168f1929/html/Rakefile.html#l86( for example.

Indeed, #246 and the question of overriding certain files (fsfe/reuse-docs#70) is a key to that, so I'd like to close this as a duplicate. Please reopen if you think that's not the case.

Sorry for this bug, I hope we can fix it soon.

Ah, as a temporary solution: you can try to split these strings. E.g. it could work in HTML to do this:

SPDX-<span></span>License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later

Ugly, but we use a similar technique for this very project.

Thanks. Unfortunately I can't, because the HTML files are automagically generated via ruby rdoc command.
Anyway I've found that all ruby files having this header below, failed.
I'ved simply removed the SPDX license from them and added to dep5.
