Insertion modes in an HTML parser may include instructions like "process
the token in the IN HEAD insertion mode." The rules do not change the
insertion mode of the parser, but the errors are triggered outside of the
rules for the current insertion mode. These will be misleading when
bailing on these instructions, because it will point someone to the wrong
place in the code to find the source of the error.
In this patch all of the bail-points due to lacking insertion mode support
are hard-coded to better orient someone to the section of the code lacking
support for handling the input HTML.

In part of a larger review of CSS semantics and behaviors, this patch
takes the opportunity to remove leading whitespace in an updated class
attribute after the first class in the attribute has been removed.
Previously, if the first class name had been removed, the whitespace
that formerly followed it would remain in the class attribute. This
stood in contrast to removing other class names, which removed their
associated whitespace.
There should be no semantic or functional changes in this patch, only
a slightly-large diff for modified HTML documents that looks prettier
when removing the first class name in a class attribute.

The HTML Processor internally throws an exception when it reaches HTML
that it knows it cannot process, but this exception is not made
available to calling code. It can be useful to extract more knowledge
about why it gave up, especially for debugging purposes.
In this patch, more context is added to the WP_HTML_Unsupported_Exception
and the last exception is made available to calling code through a new
method, `get_unsupported_exception()`.

Since the HTML Processor started visiting all nodes in a document, both
real and virtual, the breadcrumb accounting became a bit complicated
and it's not entirely clear that it is fully reliable.
In this patch the breadcrumbs are rebuilt separately from the stack of
open elements in order to eliminate the problem of the stateful stack
interactions and the post-hoc event queue.
Breadcrumbs are greatly simplified as a result, and more verifiably
correct, in this construction.

In order to add support for the SELECT and TABLE tags in the HTML Processor, it
needs to implement the HTML algorithm named "reset the insertion mode
appropriately".
This patch implements that algorithm to unblock the additional tag support. The
algorithm resets the parsing mode after specific state changes in complicated
situations where alternative rules are in effect (such as rules governing how
the parser handles tags found within a TABLE element).

When [58304] introduced the abililty to visit virtual nodes in the HTML document,
those being the nodes which are implied by the HTML but no explicitly present in
the raw text, a bug was introduced in the `get_breadcrumbs()` method because it
wasn't updated to be aware of the virtual nodes. Therefore it would report the
wrong breadcrumbs for virtual nodes. Since the new `get_depth()` method is based
on the same logic it was also broken for virtual nodes.
In this patch, the breadcrumbs have been updated to account for the virtual nodes
and the depth method has been updated to rely on the fixed breadcrumb logic.

This patch introduces two related changes:
- It adds missing subclass methods on the HTML Processor which needed
to be implemented since it started visiting virtual nodes. These
methods need to account for the fact that not all tokens truly exist.
- It adds a new concept and internal method, `is_virtual()`, indicating
if the currently-matched token comes from the raw text in the input
HTML document or if it was the byproduct of semantic parsing rules.
This internal method and new vocabulary around token provenance
considerably simplifies the logic spread throughout the rest of the
class and its subclass methods.

Unfortunately, this means that subclasses cannot use that method since it

the intended behavior. A new test asserts this behavior for future changes.

HTML is a kind of short-hand for a DOM structure. This means that there are
many cases in HTML where an element's opening tag or closing tag is missing (or
both). This is because many of the parsing rules imply creating elements in the
DOM which may not exist in the text of the HTML.
The HTML Processor, being the higher-level counterpart to the Tag Processor, is
already aware of these nodes, but since it's inception has not paused on them
when scanning through a document. Instead, these are visible when pausing on a
child of such an element, but otherwise not seen.
In this patch the HTML Processor starts exposing those implicitly-created nodes,
including opening tags, and closing tags, that aren't foudn in the text content
of the HTML input document.
Previously, the sequence of matched tokens when scanning with
`WP_HTML_Processor::next_token()` would depend on how the HTML document was written,
but with this patch, all semantically equal HTML documents will parse and scan in
the same exact manner, presenting an idealized or "perfect" view of the document
the same way as would occur when traversing a DOM in a browser.

Provides a custom decoder for strings coming from HTML attributes and
markup. This custom decoder is necessary because of deficiencies in
PHP's `html_entity_decode()` function:
- It isn't aware of 720 of the possible named character references in
HTML, leaving many out that should be translated.
- It isn't aware of the ambiguous ampersand rule, which allows
conversion of character references in certain contexts when they
are missing their closing `;`.
- It doesn't draw a distinction for the ambiguous ampersand rule
when decoding attribute values instead of markup values.
- Use of `html_entity_decode()` requires manually passing non-default
paramter values to ensure it decodes properly.
This decoder also provides some conveniences, such as making a
single-pass and interruptable decode operation possible. This will
provide a number of opportunities to optimize detection and decoding
of things like value prefixes, and whether a value contains a given
substring.

The Tag Processor stores the byte-offsets into its HTML document where
the current token starts and ends, and also for every bookmark. In some
cases for tags, the end offset has been off by one.
In this patch the offset is fixed so that a bookmark always properly
refers to the full span of the token it's bookmarking. Also the current
token byte offsets are properly recorded.
While this is a defect in the Tag Processor, it hasn't been exposed
through the public interface and has not affected any of the working
of the processor. Only subclasses which rely on the length of a bookmark
have been potentially affected, and these are not supported environments
in the ongoing work.
This fix is important for future work and for ensuring that subclasses
performing custom behaviors remain as reliable as the public interface.

This patch adds a new method, `WP_HTML_Processor->expects_closer()` to indicate
if the currently-matched node expects to find a closing token. For example, a
`DIV` element expects a closing `</div>` tag, but an `<img>` expects none, because
it's a void element. Similarly, `#text` nodes and HTML comments only appear as
unitary nodes on the stack of open elements. Once proceeding further in the
document they are immediately removed without any closing tag.
This new method serves as a helper to indicate whether or not to expect the
closer, as this can be more complicated than it seems, and calling code
shouldn't have to build custom interpretations and implementations. Instead,
the HTML Processor ought to export its internal knowledge to make it easy for
consuming code and projects.

The HTML Processor maintains a stack of open elements, where every element,
every `#text` node, every HTML comment, and other node is pushed and popped while
traversing the document. The "depth" of each of these nodes represents how deep
that stack is where the node appears. Unfortunately this information isn't
exposed to calling code, which has led different projects to attempt to
calculate this value externally. This isn't always trivial, but the HTML
Processor could make it so by exposing the internal knowledge in a new method.
In this patch the `get_current_depth()` method returns just that. Since the
processor always exists within a context, the depth includes nesting from the
always-present html element and also the body, since currently the HTML
Processor only supports parsing in the IN BODY context.
This means that the depth reported for the `DIV` in `<div>` is 3, not 1, because
its breadcrumbs path is `HTML > BODY > DIV`.

Since [60428] the Tag Processor has been misidentifying single-character
funky comments. It has been asserting that the full token-length for a
funky comment must be at least three characters after the opening (e.g.
`</1>`), but it has been starting to look for the closing `>` after
those same three characters. This means that it has been skipping the
actual close of these funky comments and swallowing up the next syntax
until it finds a `>`, often consuming the next tag in the process.
This patch fixes the detector and restores finding the following token.

When encountering text nodes in an HTML document, the HTML parser needs
to run the active format reconstruction algorithm, even if it doesn't
stop to visit those text nodes. This is because the formats, which might
need reconstructing, will impact the breadcrumbs of all downstream nodes
from the text node.
In this patch, this process is triggered, which properly triggers the
active format reconstruction. It also enables the visiting of other token
types as is possible in the Tag Processor.

However, when batch-applying updates it's able to copy chunks of the

for the entire batch.

In some cases, it's possible to seek back into a location found inside
an element which has been closed before the point in the document where
the `seek()` was made. In these cases the breadcrumb stack is lost, and
calling `get_breadcrumbs()` after the seek will return the wrong information.
In this patch, the HTML Processor takes a conservative approach and
moves to the front of the document, then reparses the document until
it reaches the sought-after location. This ensures consistency on
the stack of open elements and active formats, and preserves
breadcrumbs.

coerces to `false` inside `empty()`, then an empty string has been

}}}
In this patch the `empty()` check is removed. The purpose of the original
check was to skip further processing if the text content is empty, but
the check is not needed and the additioanl processing is minimal.

A fix was introduced to the Tag Processor to ensure that contiguous text
in an HTML document emerges as a single text node spanning the full
sequence. Unfortunately, that patch was marginally over-zealous in
checking if a "<" started a syntax token or not. It used the following:
{{{
<?php
if ( 'A' <= $c && 'z' >= $c ) { ... }
}}}
This was based on the assumption that the A-Z and a-z letters are
contiguous in the ASCII range; they aren't, and there's a gap of
several characters in between. The result of this is that in some
cases the parser created a text boundary when it didn't need to.
Text boundaries can be surprising and can be created when reaching
invalid syntax, HTML comments, and more hidden elements, so
semantically this wasn't a major bug, but it was an aesthetic
challenge.
In this patch the check is properly compared for both upper- and
lower-case variants that could potentially form tag names.
{{{
<?php
if ( ( 'A' <= $c && 'Z' >= $c ) || ( 'a' <= $c && 'z' >= $c ) ) { ... }
}}}
This solves the problem and ensures that contiguous text appears
as a single text node when scanning tokens.

The HTML Processor tracks whether a token was found with the self-closing flag.
Depending on the context, this flag may or may not indicate that the element is
self closing. Unfortunately it's been tracking the wrong flag: it's been tracking
the end-tag flag, which indicates that a token is an end tag.
In this patch the right flag is set in the HTML Processor. This hasn't been an
issue because the HTML Processor doesn't yet read that stored flag, but it's an
important fix to make before adding support for foreign content (SVG and MathML)
since that behavior depends on reading the correct flag.

When `next_token()` was introduced, it introduced a regression in the HTML
Processor whereby void tags remain on the stack of open elements when they
shouldn't. This led to invalid values returned from `get_breadcrumbs()`.
The reason was that calling `next_token()` works through a different code path
than the HTML Processor runs everything else. To solve this, its sub-classed
`next_token()` called `step( self::REPROCESS_CURRENT_TOKEN )` so that the proper
HTML accounting takes place.
Unfortunately that same reprocessing code path skipped the step whereby void
and self-closing elements are popped from the stack of open elements.
In this patch, that step is run with a third mode for `step()`, which is the
new `self::PROCESS_CURRENT_TOKEN`. This mode acts as if `self::PROCESS_NEXT_NODE`
were called, except it doesn't advance the parser.

In one of the changes made during development, however, a typo slipped

ended in `]>` and not the required `]]>`.
The consequences of this defect were minor because in all cases these are
treated as HTML comments from invalid syntax, but this patch adds the

Since its introduction in WordPress 6.2 the HTML Tag Processor has
provided a way to scan through all of the HTML tags in a document and
then read and modify their attributes. In order to reliably do this, it
also needed to be aware of other kinds of HTML syntax, but it didn't
expose those syntax tokens to consumers of the API.
In this patch the Tag Processor introduces a new scanning method and a
few helper methods to read information about or from each token. Most
significantly, this introduces the ability to read `#text` nodes in the
document.
What's new in the Tag Processor?
================================
- `next_token()` visits every distinct syntax token in a document.
- `get_token_type()` indicates what kind of token it is.
- `get_token_name()` returns something akin to `DOMNode.nodeName`.
- `get_modifiable_text()` returns the text associated with a token.
- `get_comment_type()` indicates why a token represents an HTML comment.
Example usage.
==============
{{{
<?php
function strip_all_tags( $html ) {
$text_content = '';
$processor = new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( $html );
while ( $processor->next_token() ) {
if ( '#text' !== $processor->get_token_type() ) {
continue;
}
$text_content .= $processor->get_modifiable_text();
}
return $text_content;
}
}}}
What changes in the Tag Processor?
==================================
Previously, the Tag Processor would scan the opening and closing tag of
every HTML element separately. Now, however, there are special tags
which it only visits once, as if those elements were void tags without
a closer.
These are special tags because their content contains no other HTML or
markup, only non-HTML content.
- SCRIPT elements contain raw text which is isolated from the rest of
the HTML document and fed separately into a JavaScript engine. There
are complicated rules to avoid escaping the script context in the HTML.
The contents are left verbatim, and character references are not decoded.
- TEXTARA and TITLE elements contain plain text which is decoded
before display, e.g. transforming `&` into `&`. Any markup which
resembles tags is treated as verbatim text and not a tag.
- IFRAME, NOEMBED, NOFRAMES, STYLE, and XMP elements are similar to the
textarea and title elements, but no character references are decoded.
For example, `&` inside a STYLE element is passed to the CSS engine
as the literal string `&` and _not_ as `&`.
Because it's important not treat this inner content separately from the
elements containing it, the Tag Processor combines them when scanning
into a single match and makes their content available as modifiable
text (see below).
This means that the Tag Processor will no longer visit a closing tag for
any of these elements unless that tag is unexpected.
{{{
<title>There is only a single token in this line</title>
<title>There are two tokens in this line></title></title>
</title><title>There are still two tokens in this line></title>
}}}
What are tokens?
================
The term "token" here is a parsing term, which means a primitive unit in
HTML. There are only a few kinds of tokens in HTML:
- a tag has a name, attributes, and a closing or self-closing flag.
- a text node, or `#text` node contains plain text which is displayed
in a browser and which is decoded before display.
- a DOCTYPE declaration indicates how to parse the document.
- a comment is hidden from the display on a page but present in the HTML.
There are a few more kinds of tokens that the HTML Tag Processor will
recognize, some of which don't exist as concepts in HTML. These mostly
comprise XML syntax elements that aren't part of HTML (such as CDATA and
processing instructions) and invalid HTML syntax that transforms into
comments.
What is a funky comment?
========================
This patch treats a specific kind of invalid comment in a special way.
A closing tag with an invalid name is considered a "funky comment." In
the browser these become HTML comments just like any other, but their
syntax is convenient for representing a variety of bits of information
in a well-defined way and which cannot be nested or recursive, given
the parsing rules handling this invalid syntax.
- `</1>`
- `</%avatar_url>`
- `</{"wp_bit": {"type": "post-author"}}>`
- `</[post-author]>`
- `</__( 'Save Post' );>`
All of these examples become HTML comments in the browser. The content
inside the funky content is easily parsable, whereby the only rule is
that it starts at the `<` and continues until the nearest `>`. There
can be no funky comment inside another, because that would imply having
a `>` inside of one, which would actually terminate the first one.
What is modifiable text?
========================
Modifiable text is similar to the `innerText` property of a DOM node.
It represents the span of text for a given token which may be modified
without changing the structure of the HTML document or the token.
There is currently no mechanism to change the modifiable text, but this
is planned to arrive in a later patch.
Tags
====
Most tags have no modifiable text because they have child nodes where
text nodes are found. Only the special tags mentioned above have
modifiable text.
{{{
<div class="post">Another day in HTML</div>
└─ tag ──────────┘└─ text node ─────┘└────┴─ tag
}}}
{{{
<title>Is <img> > <image>?</title>
│ └ modifiable text ───┘ │ "Is <img> > <image>?"
└─ tag ─────────────────────────────┘
}}}
Text nodes
==========
Text nodes are entirely modifiable text.
{{{
This HTML document has no tags.
└─ modifiable text ───────────┘
}}}
Comments
========
The modifiable text inside a comment is the portion of the comment that
doesn't form its syntax. This applies for a number of invalid comments.
{{{
<!-- this is inside a comment -->
│ └─ modifiable text ──────┘ │
└─ comment token ───────────────┘
}}}
{{{
<!-->
This invalid comment has no modifiable text.
}}}
{{{
<? this is an invalid comment -->
│ └─ modifiable text ────────┘ │
└─ comment token ───────────────┘
}}}
{{{
<[CDATA[this is an invalid comment]]>
│ └─ modifiable text ───────┘ │
└─ comment token ───────────────────┘
}}}
Other token types also have modifiable text. Consult the code or tests
for further information.

Adds support for the following HTML elements to the HTML Processor:
- PARAM, SOURCE, TRACK
Previously these elements were not supported and the HTML Processor would bail when encountering them. Now, with this patch applied, it will proceed to parse an HTML document when encountering those tags.

This patch adds newly supported elements to tests that should have been updated
in recent PRs, but which were merged without that. Those PRs removed failing
tests showing that the elements were unsupported, but did not add the elements
to the list of supported ones.
It also removes some elements from the special-exclusion list of unsupported IN
BODY elements. These did not present in failing tests because earlier
conditions in the switch structure caught the tags before hitting the default
block.
Finally it adds some missing elements to the list of void elements. These
elements are not listed as void in the HTML specification because they are
deprecated. However, they are treated as void for the sake of HTML
serialization and the parsing rules indicate that they behave as void elements,
so it's safe to list them within the HTML API as void.
