-- This fork preserves the "tags" list in the wysihtml5 parser.

Compare: https://github.com/jhollingworth/bootstrap-wysihtml5/blob/067a69b0be3df554fdf266102e04a2eb4cdee858/src/bootstrap-wysihtml5.js#L405 with: https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5/blob/73b668267a3db1822732014de73fb8dfe20a8c26/parser_rules/advanced.js#L104

AFAICT, the tag parser was mangled? and was stripping out a large majority of the html present in a client's text forms.
