Catrope 819b3ded33 Move matching code from AnnotationFactory to ModelRegistry
ModelRegistry registers both annotations and nodes, and performs
matching on both at the same time. It also registers annotations with
the AnnotationFactory, and nodes with the NodeFactory.

Catrope 080dfd7d07 (bug 42398) Kill ve.ce.Meta{Block,Inline}Node, not needed.
CE doesn't actually render meta nodes anymore now that we split them out
into the meta-linmod.

I took a stab at consolidating metaBlock and metaInline (into simply
'meta'), but we can't do that with the current node API unless we put a
lot of meta-specific hacks in the converter. So I'm leaving this for the
node API rewrite.

Trevor Parscal 3002bbb591 (bug 42806) Copy/paste errors on unbalanced data
ve.ce.Surface
* Switched to using getSlice instead of getData in copy and paste handlers
* Added try/catch which attempts to build a transaction with the unbalanced data first, but falls back on the balanced data otherwise

ve.dm.*Node
* Added default style attributes (now used by ve.dm.NodeFactory)

ve.dm.Document
* Fixed bugs in fixupInsertions where parentType was being set with an object rather than a string
* Made use of getDataElement
* Added adoption capability so that inserting a</h1><p>b into <p>c[cursor]d</p> results in <p>ca</p><p>bd</p> rather than throwing an exception
* Renamed getBalancedData to getSlice, now retuning a ve.dm.DocumentSlice object

ve.dm.DocumentSlice
* Introduced new container for balanced data and a range of the original context - useful for copy/paste

ve.dm.NodeFactory
* Added getDataElement method, which uses default attributes to create a boilerplate version of a data element

ve.dm.Document.test
* Updated getBalancedData test to be a getSlice test

demos/ve/index, VisualEditor, test/index
* Added references to ve.dm.DocumentSlice

Timo Tijhof 381472ac99 init.Platform: Refactor parsed messages.
Rewrite VisualEditorMessagesModule:
* Replace copy-paste dump of user-css module with stuff for
  VisualEditor (class commend and module::$origin).
* Remove duplication between getMessages and getScript.
* Actually implement getModifiedTime so that the comment in
  getMessages() about cache invalidation is actually true
  Fixes bug 42670: ext.visualEditor.specialMessages cache broken

ve.init:
* Implement addParsedMessages and getParsedMessage so that we
  don't mix up plain messages with raw html messages (minoredit
  was previously overloaded in mw.msg storage with a parsed html
  message and retrieved though ve.msg, which is documented as
  retuning plain text, not raw html). This is now separated into
  a different method.
* Improved documentation of the other msg methods to emphasise
  their differences
* Removed redundant code in attachSaveDialog() that was
  (partially) already done in setupSaveDialog() and moved the
  remaining bits into it as well. Checked all callers of these and
  they are both only called from ViewPageTarget.prototype.onLoad
* Also implement them in the standalone platform implementation,
  with the html escaper based on mw.html.escape
* Update init.platform.getMessage to use undefined instead of
  discouraged 'if-in' statement.
* Add test suite.

demos/test:
* Re-run makeStaticLoader.php on test to add ve.init.Platform.test
* Re-run makeStaticLoader.php on demos and update i18n caller
  to use ve.init.platform.addParsedMessages (also moved out of the
  auto-generated block for easier updating)

Catrope e148234c29 Render inline annotations in CE
Moved annotation rendering from ce.Textnode into the new
ce.ContentBranchNode class. This allows us to render annotations that
span across multiple nodes.

* Add ce.ContentBranchNode, inheriting ce.BranchNode
* Make ce.{Paragraph,Heading,Preformatted}Node inherit ce.ContentBranchNode
* Made ce.ContentBranchNode render its child nodes with anntations,
  using .getAnnotatedHtml() on the child nodes
* Put a default implementation for .getAnnotatedHtml() in ce.LeafNode
* Override this in ce.TextNode to do escaping and whitespace handling
* Removed rendering code from ce.TextNode (this.$ is now unused there)
* Removed ce.TextNode.onUpdate() and ce.BranchNode.clean(), now unneeded
* Have ce.BranchNode propagate update events from children, so
  ce.ContentBranchNode can rerender when its children change
* Update tests, add test case for escaping of &<>'"

Catrope 1234a702c9 (bug 42218) Add MWEntityNode
<span typeof="mw:Entity"> tags are now correctly represented in the
model, and rendered in CE. There are still issues with cursor movement
etc. in CE.

Because the prioritization mechanism for annotations vs nodes is broken
in the current "node API", I had to hack two special cases for mw:Entity
into the converter. I also had to change the converter to ignore the
children of inline nodes (this was a legitimate bug, but had never come
up before).

Trevor Parscal 9c22ee346a Added undo-before-apply for new link annotations
When the link inspector is used to create a new annotation, the text is annotated with the default link target derived from the selected text. Then if the inspector is used to change that value, yet another transaction is processed when the inspector is closed.

To avoid having to press undo 2x, this change makes the inspector undo it's first change before applying the changed annotation.

This change also introduces insert, remove and select content actions.

surface.execute( actionName, method, param1, param2, ... );

This helps keep tools simple, and opens the door to key commands
reusing the same code.

Timo Tijhof 34cbc729db ve.ui.CommandFactory: Initial implementation
Based on https://github.com/ccampbell/mousetrap.

Cleaned up to fit our coding standards, pass JSHint, and assume
jQuery's fixes where possible (e.g. no need for an addEvent
utility, no need for filling e.target, e.which, etc. cross-browser
which jQuery.Event already does).

Initially all were local functions in the constructor, but to
allow some customisations in subclasses moved various methods
to the prototype instead and marked with @private.

Really, only .register() must be called from the outside. The rest
assumes normalisation etc. or might break things if called
incorrectly.

Catrope 613dd14332 New annotation API: convert existing annotations
This changes ve.dm.LinkAnnotation to be a generic annotation for <a>
tags, and adds ve.dm.MWInternalLinkAnnotation and
ve.dm.MWExternalLinkAnnotation as MW-specific subclasses. This nicely
splits out the MW-specific parts in LinkAnnotation, and ideally we'd
also move these files somewhere else to reflect their MW-specificity,
but I haven't gotten to that yet.

Similarly, ve.dm.TextStyleAnnotation is now a generic base class for
simple tag-only-no-metadata annotations, and it has 11 subclasses, one
for each tag we support. This is quite a bit more verbose than the
previous code, but I think it's cleaner and more flexible. I considered
writing a function that would generate a TextStyleAnnotation subclass,
then calling that 11 times, but that's not possible if we want to keep
named functions for the constructors.

Catrope 7b96fbe3d2 Add a node type for meta nodes
This node type represents <meta> or <link> (transparently, based on the
style attribute). I had to make two node types for this and hack the
toData conversion code directly into ve.dm.Converter, because we don't
have native support for node types that can be both inline and block.
(We should add this in the node API rewrite.)

The CE implementation renders a placeholder (with the same styles as an
alien node) right now. I'm not sure how nice that is, but it's better
than rendering raw <meta>/<link> tags.

This whole thing is a total pile of hacks to make VE deal with
<meta>/<link> tags until we have a proper node types API.

Rob Moen dda2c932bd Added MW page suggestion functionality.
Created jQuery plugin MultiSuggest which builds a categorized dropdown
under specified input box.

Revised inspector to no longer be an iframe but to contain an Iframe.
This reduces xbrowser issues with positioning and toggling inspector
container.

Added Inspector overlay element for positioning arbitrary elements
over the iFrame.  This prevents growing the iframe to arbitrary lenghts.

Trevor Parscal d8ee3c2c29 After much research on error objects, native = good, custom = bad
Stack traces, line numbers, etc. All the approaches I've seen are bad hacks. This is the best way to go.

Trevor Parscal b4de3ead08 Throw ve.Error instead of string literals
Throwing strings is bad because it doesn't include a lot of important
information that an error object does, such as a stack trace or where
the error was actually thrown from.

ve.Error inherits directly from Error. In the future we may create
more specific subclasses and/or do custom stuff.

Some interesting reading on the subject:
