[Gaim-devel] GMarkup or libxml?

[Kang Jeong-H. <Ke...@ma...>]

Hi.

GtkTMHtml calls GMarkup for parsing HTML string of @text in append_text().
but the GMarkup does not provide full HTML-compatible parsing,
rather half-XML (means stric for pairing etc.) one.

so it's time to make a decision: GMarkup or libxml's HTML parser?

a) if GMarkup is appreciated, pliz persuade others at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93597

b) if libxml is appreciated, I'll #include <libxml.h> rather than glib.

waiting for reply.

Ummm... why not just use the parser we already have?

you mean the lines of code beginning with gtk_imhtml_is_tag()?
it's... yeah, kind of parser, but obsolete for gtk2's GtkTextView;
I need an common interface like SAX which idealy provide way
of implementation detail of rendering, not doing 1-by-1 bit of process.

and the role of codes is closely implemented with pointer-hack.
this is not fit to UTF-8 fashion.

but I wanna say that I really respect the internal of the codes;
I did implemented my patch as almost porting of these code.

btw, I think gtkimhtml need SAX type parser.
pliz concern.

Well, I can't speak as to the merits of either.  However, I'm already
using libxml to parse the XML buddy list in the person tree.  I'll be
happy to send along the patches to autoconf et all if you want/need
them.

Things in the world are generally moving towards XML... I would suggest 
that!

XML is not bad at all, when used under the right circumstances. Since
we're already parsing a markup language, and SGML parsers tend to be
slower than XML parser, AND since we'll be using XML anyway from the
L/F/PERSON/F/L tree, we may as well use XML now.. IF it's appropriate.
I don't know the protocols well enough, but if they're sending SGML,
then we should stick with our current parser.

My $0.01. I spent the other on a hotdog and drumsticks.
