Issue 4964045: code review 4964045: exp/template/html: Grammar rules for HTML comments and ... (Closed)
Descriptionexp/template/html: Grammar rules for HTML comments and special tags.
Augments type context and adds grammatical rules to handle special HTML constructs:
<!-- comments -->
<script>raw text</script>
<textarea>no tags here</textarea>
This CL does not elide comment content. I recommend we do that but
have not done it in this CL.
I used a codesearch tool over a codebase in another template language.
Based on the below I think we should definitely recognize
<script>, <style>, <textarea>, and <title>
as each of these appears frequently enough that there are few
template using apps that do not use most of them.
Of the other special tags,
<xmp>, <noscript>
are used but infrequently, and
<noframe> and friend, <listing>
do not appear at all.
We could support <xmp> even though it is obsolete in HTML5
because we already have the machinery, but I suggest we do not
support noscript since it is a normal tag in some browser
configurations.
I suggest recognizing and eliding <!-- comments -->
(but not escaping text spans) as they are widely used to
embed comments in template source. Not eliding them increases
the size of content sent over the network, and risks leaking
code and project internal details.
The template language I tested elides them so there are
no instance of IE conditional compilation directives in the
codebase but that could be a source of confusion.
The codesearch does the equivalent of
$ find . -name \*.file-extension \
| perl -ne 'print "\L$1\n" while s@<([a-z][a-z0-9])@@i' \
| sort | uniq -c | sort
The 5 uses of <plaintext> seem to be in tricky code and can be ignored.
The 2 uses of <xmp> appear in the same tricky code and can be ignored.
I also ignored end tags to avoid biasing against unary
elements and threw out some nonsense names since since the
long tail is dominated by uses of < as a comparison operator
in the template languages expression language.
I have added asterisks next to abnormal elements.
