Handling Content Model Changes
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Context
|
||||
|
||||
The distinction between Transitional and Strict document types is somewhat
|
||||
of an anomaly in the lineage of XHTML document types (following 1.0, no
|
||||
doctypes do not have flavors: instead, modularization is used to let
|
||||
document authors vary their elements). This transition is usually quite
|
||||
straight-forward, as W3C usually deprecates attributes or elements, which
|
||||
are quite easily handled using tag and attribute transforms.
|
||||
|
||||
However, for two elements, <blockquote>, <body> and <address>, W3C elected
|
||||
to also change the content model. <blockquote> and <body> originally
|
||||
accepted both inline and block elements, but in the strict doctype they
|
||||
only allow block elements. With <address>, the situation is inverted:
|
||||
<p> tags were now forbidden from appearing within this tag.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Current situation
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, HTML Purifier treats <blockquote> specially during Tidy mode
|
||||
using a custom ChildDef class StrictBlockquote. StrictBlockquote
|
||||
operates similarly to Required, except that when it encounters an inline
|
||||
element, it will wrap it in a block tag (as specified by
|
||||
%HTML.BlockWrapper, the default is <p>). The naming suggests it can
|
||||
only be used for <blockquote>s, although it may be possible to
|
||||
genericize it to work on other cases of this nature (this would be of
|
||||
little practical application, as no other element in XHTML 1.1 or earlier
|
||||
has a block-only content model).
|
||||
|
||||
Tidy currently contains no custom, lenient implementation for <address>.
|
||||
If one were to be written, it would likely operate on the principle that,
|
||||
when a <p> tag were to be encountered, it would be replaced with a
|
||||
leading and trailing <br /> tag (the contents of <p>, being inline, are
|
||||
not an issue). There is no prior work with this sort of operation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Outside applicability
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of other elements that contain restrictive content
|
||||
models, such as <ul> or <span> (the latter is restrictive in that it
|
||||
does not allow block elements). In the former case, an errant node
|
||||
is eliminated completely, in the latter case, the text of the node
|
||||
would is preserved (as the parent node does allow PCDATA). Custom
|
||||
content model implementations probably are not the best way of handling
|
||||
these cases, instead, node bubbling should be implemented instead.
