bash remove everything DIRECTLY after html

My question is almost identical to this one: Bash remove everything after </html>. However, the answer 

sed -i '/<\/html>/,$d;$a <\/html>' yourfile

is stripping the tag as well. I've tried various of the sed command and | piping another command to re-add the closing tag, but nothing has worked.

In short, i'm trying to remove everything after the tag, even if on the same line or not.

sed -i -n '0,/<\/html>/{s!</html>.*!</html>!;p};q' input

This removes anything after </html> on the same line and deletes all subsequent lines (just a ;q added to perreal's first way). -i works fine for me (GNU sed 4.2.1).

One way:

sed -n '1,/<\/html>/{s!</html>.*!</html>!;p}' input

Another:

sed -e 's!</html>.*!</html>!' -e '/<\/html>/q' input
