import pandas as pd
pd.read_html('http://vybary2019.by/regions/49.html',header=0)[0] Problem description
In original web page the first cell of table contains three separate words.
In pandas table the first cell contains only two words, with first word being the join of the former two first.
[why the current behaviour is a problem]
Because during pandas parsing there is a data loss that is non-trivial to fix.
The reason for this behaviour is the presence of <br> tag between first two words in original content.
<br> should be converted to space or at least to a new line when converting to text representation.
I found the similar reference in #14608 (comment) but no separate GitHub issue.
