values. This includes comments, templates and template arguments.
This also replaces the specialized expansion logic in the TemplateHandler. The
removal of link validation lets one more parser test fail for now. External
link target validation will need to be implemented in the token stream handler
for links. This is noted as TODO in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Future/Parser_development#Token_stream_transforms.
functionality (comments, templates, template arguments) in arbitrary
attributes. The grammar for this is still quite rough, will need to
consolidate that area.
other tokens. This is only the first half of the conversion. The next step is
to drop the type attribute on most tokens and match on the constructor in the
token transform machinery.
improvements to parser functions on the way to support the cite extensions.
Preparation for generic template and template arg in attribute support. 222
parser tests now passing.
* Add handler for post-expand paragraph wrapping on token stream, to handle
things like comments on its own line post-expand
* Add general Util module
* Fix self-closing tag handling in HTML5 tree builder
The TokenTransformDispatcher now actually implements an asynchronous, phased
token transformation framework as described in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Future/Parser_development/Token_stream_transformations.
Additionally, the parser pipeline is now mostly held together using events.
The tokenizer still emits a lame single events with all tokens, as block-level
emission failed with scoping issues specific to the PEGJS parser generator.
All stages clean up when receiving the end tokens, so that the full pipeline
can be used for repeated parsing.
The QuoteTransformer is not yet 100% fixed to work with the new interface, and
the Cite extension is disabled for now pending adaptation. Bold-italic related
tests are failing currently.
tests now passing.
Link trails depend on language-dependent positive character classes in the PHP
parser. These classes all seem to disallow punctuation implicitly and list
differing plain text characters instead, so it might be possible to get away
with identifying a common class of non-trail punctuation instead. This would
help to keep the tokenizer independent of configurations, which is very
desirable for caching and simplified external parsing.
start / row / table end). The old productions are not deleted yet to make it
easy to compare the output on more complex articles. 181 tests passing after
adding two table tests with whitespace-only differences to the whitelist.
This required a few further additions to the TokenTransformDispatcher. In
particular, there is now an 'any' token match whose callbacks are executed
before more specific callbacks. This is used by the Cite extension to eat all
tokens between ref and /ref tags. This need is very common, so should be
broken out to an intermediate layer in the future.
In general, the requirements for the TokenTransformDispatcher API are now
clearer, and the API should likely be cleaned up / simplified.
token stream. This is the first token transformation exercising the
TokenTransformer class as its dispatcher. Template expansions, wiki link
formatting, tag sanitation and extensions should be able to use the same
dispatcher by registering for specific token types.
The parser performance is very slightly improved as the token stream is only
traversed once.
