Hi all,
update of the Xhtml module:
- Support for new Xml behaviour (no need to define all the
tags)
- Adapted old HTML tests to Xhtml. 22-html now tests Xhtml
instead of Html.
In the process, I've suppressed the following files:
t/data-22/attribute.html
t/data-22/attribute_out.html
t/data-22/spaces.html
t/data-22/spaces_out.html
t/data-22/spaces.po
The patch also folds in the previous patch to Xml.pm I sent
earlier this week, which prevents Xml.pm from eating SSI
statements ( <!--# ... --> ). While it's necessary for my
application, it'll have to be moved to Xhtml.pm once the API
to modify @tag_types has been added.
Cheers,
Y.

I've committed the Xhtml.pm patch.
For the testsuite, I've created a new set of tests (data-25). As long as
the Html module still exists, I would prefer to keep its testsuite.

I see no problem in committing this one. Can you just comment a little bit
more on SSI?
Is it a common way of adding comments? Do you know of other similar
method?
Kind Regards,

Fair enough. Thanks for commiting.

I see no problem in committing this one. Can you just comment a little bit
more on SSI?
Yes: Server Side Includes; they're a module commonly found
in Apache which allows simple server-side scripting in the
html files, most commonly including files. The most typical
use would be something along the lines of:
<html>
<!--#include virtual="header.html" -->
Blah blah
<!--#include virtual="footer.html" -->
</html>
Basically it makes up for HTML not having any way to include
another file: upon serving the file, Apache will scan
through it and execute all the statements, and replace the
#include with the actual content of the file. From the
client side, you never know anything is going on.
So it's a hack on HTML really, using the semantics of
comments for something else. It's not technically breaking
anything because the client is still getting well formed
XHTML.
This is why I don't think it belongs in Xml.pm for the long
term: it's not a W3C standard at all. At the same time, I
suppose it wouldn't hurt users of proper XML.
Is it a common way of adding comments?
Not really comments at all... I don't mind my comments being
removed :-)
Do you know of other similar method?
Well, you can easily replace it with PHP (something like
<?php include "file.html" ?> IIRC) and probably a million
other methods. I'm afraid PHP would be a much heavier
method to do the work than SSI is.
HTH,
Y.

Hello Yves,
I applied the Xml.pm
By the way, can you give a status of the Xhtml module?
Do you think it should be added to the list of the distributed modules in
the next release?
Kind Regards,

Thanks.

No :-) I haven't used it in a year. Basically, it stills
treats all tags as breaking, so that:
<h1>The little <b>red</b> house</h1>
comes out as 3 msgid's. Basically, it's useless. I spent
some time trying to do recursive parsing and things, but
didn't manage it for too long, up to the point I tried the
XML way and got it all working in an hour.
Do you think it should be added to the list of the distributed
modules in

Absolutely not. It absolutely needs to support inline tags
to be useful.
Cheers,
Y.
