Re: [wml] [LONG][WML] Mp4h parsing: summary

[Tobias Oetiker <nospam@thanx>]

*> C) Suggestions
*> ==============
*> 
*>   2. Complex HTML tag
*>      Parser reads attributes and body.
*> 
*>   3. Simple HTML tag
*>      Parser reads attributes. To let mp4h know this tag is simple,
*>      it must conform to xhtml standard and contain a trailing slash.
*> 
*>   4. Embedded HTML tag
*>      When this is an HTML complex tag but appear as a simple tag, e.g.
*>        <navbar:header><table><tr></navbar:header>
*>      a trailing star marks this tag as a non parsable complex HTML tag
*>        <navbar:header><table*><tr*></navbar:header>
*>      When it is simple, there is no problem because of the trailing slash
*>        <navbar:epilog><br /></navbar:epilog>

note that there are still some browsers which will not like <br/>
so one might want to writ <br*> as the * will get removed in later
wml processing where as the <br/> will remain unchanged

*>      When this tag cannot be parsed, it must be protected with a
*>      leading star, which will make it fall into category 6.
*>        document.write('<*img src="foo.png" alt="');
*>        document.write(text+'">');

here you protect the opeing < into not being interpreted as part of
a tag, but if the whole combination happens inside another tag how
do you protect the inner >

eg

<de: document.write('<*img src="foo.png" alt="');
     document.write(text+'">');
>                          ^          
                           |

apart from that I like it ...

cheers
