Hi all! I'm coding a small blogging system (for my own use) and I'd like to use html5lib to parse entries (before feeding them to a Genshi template for output). Future uses will include comments parsing and probably pingback/trackback, but I'm not there yet :-P
Entries are "HTML fragments" (much like those you can put in Atom in
an Text Construct with type="html"), so I'd like to parse them as
"innerHTML".
Given Ian's proposal in <http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/issues/
detail?id=18> and the algorithm for setting innerHTML in HTML
documents <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/
#innerhtml0>, I'd like to suggest the following design change before
the "innerHTML case" is implemented:
Instead of having the innerHTML argument to the HTMLParser.parse
method be a boolean, could we make it a string being the name of the
element we're "setting the innerHTML property". If it evaluates to
False (either being False, None or an empty string) then consider
we're not in the "innerHTML case" (that shouldn't change the current
asserts in the code).
Ian's suggestion in issue #18 would read:
myFragment = parser.parse(s, innerHTML='div')
The problem might come when returning the parsed fragment:
TreeBuilder.getDocument is not adapted. So maybe it's worth dropping
the innerHTML argument from parse() and adding a
parseFragment(container, stream, encoding=None); also adding a
getFragment() to TreeBuilder to return either the <html> element or a
DocumentFragment (already exists in xml.dom.minidom even if not
documented; easy to add to ElementTree, not talking about
simpletree ;-) )
Any input?
