HTML</H2>

This documents describes the complete handling of HTML in magellan. The
|
||
|
|
document covers the parsing process - how HTML is lexically analysized
|
||
|
|
and then interprted. After the parsing process is discussed we give a detailed
|
||
|
|
analysis of each HTML tag and the attributes that are supported, the values
|
||
|
|
for the attributes and how the tag is treated by magellan.

|
Parsing</H2>
|
||
|
|
HTML is tokenized by an HTML scanner. The scanner is fed unicode data to
|
||
|
|
parse. Stream converters are used to translate from various encodings to
|
||
|
|
unicode. The scanner separates the input stream into tokens which consist
|
||
|
|
of:
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<LI>
|
||
|
|
text</LI>

The HTML parsing engine uses the HTML scanner for lexical anlaysis. The
|
||
|
|
parsing engine operates by attacking the input stream in a set of well
|
||
|
|
defined steps:
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<LI>
|
||
|
|
The parser processes the head portion of the document first, without emitting
|
||
|
|
any output. This is done to discover a few special features of html:</LI>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<LI>
|
||
|
|
The parser processes META tags looking for META TARGET</LI>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<LI>
|
||
|
|
The parser processes META tags looking for META tags which affect the character
|
||
|
|
set. Nav4 handles the very first character set defining meta tag (all others
|
||
|
|
are ingored) by reloading the document with the proper character conversion
|
||
|
|
module inserted into the stream pipeline.</LI>
|
||
|
|
</UL>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<LI>
|
||
|
|
After the head portion is processed the parser then proceeds to process
|
||
|
|
the body of the document</LI>
|
||
|
|
</UL>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<H3>
|
||
|
|
Tag Processing</H3>
|
||
|
|
Tags are processed by the parser by locating a <B>"tag handler"</B> for
|
||
|
|
the tag. The HTML parser serves as the tag handler for all of the builtin
|
||
|
|
tags documented below. Tag attribute handling is done during translation
|
||
|
|
of tags into content. This mapping translates the tag attributes into content
|
||
|
|
data and into style data. The translation to style data is documented below
|
||
|
|
by indicating the mapping from tag attributes to their CSS1 (plus extensions)
|
||
|
|
equivalents.

|
Special Hacks</H3>
|
||
|
|
The following list describes hacks added to the magellan parsing engine
|
||
|
|
to deal with navigator compatability. These are just the parser hacks,
|
||
|
|
not the layout or presentation hacks. Most hacks are intriduced for HTML
|
||
|
|
syntax error recovering. HTML doesn't specify much how to handle those
|
||
|
|
error conditions. Netscape has made big effort to render pages with non-prefect
|
||
|
|
HTML. For many reasons, new browsers need to keep compatible in thsi area.
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<LI>
|
||
|
|
Entities can be used as escape in quoted string. For value string in name-value
|
||
|
|
pair, see <A HREF="../testhtml/quote001.html">compatibility test
|
||
|
|
quote001.html</A>. Test line 70 shows that an entity quote at the begining
|
||
|
|
means the value is NOT quoted. Test line 90 shows that if the value is
|
||
|
|
started with a quote, then an entity quote does NOT terminate the value
|
||
|
|
string.</LI>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<LI>
|
||
|
|
Wrapping tags are special tags such as title, textarea, server, script,
|
||
|
|
style, and etc.. The comment in ns\lib\libparse\pa_parse.c says:</LI>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<BR> /*
|
||
|
|
<BR> * These tags are special in that, after opening one of
|
||
|
|
them, all other tags are ignored until the matching
|
||
|
|
<BR> * closing tag.
|
||
|
|
<BR> */
|
||
|
|
<BR>During the searching of an end tag, comments and quoted strings are
|
||
|
|
observed. see <A HREF="../testhtml/title01.html">compatibility test title01.html</A>.
|
||
|
|
6.0 handles coments now, need to add quoeted string.
|
||
|
|
<LI>
|
||
|
|
If a <tr> or <td> tag is seen outside any <table> scope, it is
|
||
|
|
ignored. see <A HREF="../testhtml/table110.htm">compatibility test table110.htm</A>.</LI>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">In case of table in table but not in cell, table
|
||
|
|
tags before the last table tag are ignored. We found this problem in some
|
||
|
|
Netscape public pages, see bug #85118. For example, <table> <table
|
||
|
|
border> .....,or <table> <tr> <table border>..., the table
|
||
|
|
will be displayed with border. </FONT> <A HREF="../testhtml/table201.html">compatibility

test table201.html</A>. There table and tr tags are buffered for this recovery.
|
||
|
|
When a TD or CAPTION tag is open, the buffer is flushed out, because we
|
||
|
|
cannot buffer contents of TD or CAPTION for performance and memory constrains.
|
||
|
|
They are subdoc's and can be very big. If we see a <table> outside cell
|
||
|
|
after previous table is flushed out, the new <table> tag is ignored.
|
||
|
|
Nav4.0 can discard previous table in such case. <A HREF="../testhtml/tableall.html">tableall.html

Caption is not a commonly used feature. In Nav4.0, captions can be anywhere.
|
||
|
|
For Captions outside cells, the first one takes effect. For captions inside
|
||
|
|
cells, the last one takes effect, and they also close TD and TR. In 6.0,
|
||
|
|
caption is limited to the standard position: after <table>. Captions
|
||
|
|
in other places are ignored, their contents are treated as text. See test
|

The nav4 parser notices when it hits EOF and it's in the middle of scanning
|

|
|
in a comment. When this happens, the parser goes back and looks for an
|
||
|
|
improperly closed comment (e.g. a simple > instead of a -->). If it finds
|
||
|
|
one, it reparses the input after closing out the comment.</LI>

A note regarding the style stack: The pop of the stack checks to see if

the top of the stack is an ANCHOR tag. If it is not an anchor then the

top item is unconditionally popped. If the top of the style stack is an

|
anchor tag then the code searches for either the bottom of the stack or
|

|
|
the first style stack entry not created by an anchor tag. If the entry
|
||
|
|
is followed by another entry then the entry is removed from the stack (an
|
||
|
|
out-of-order pop in other words). In this case the anchor style stack entry
|

is left untouched.
