Certain tags like <script> but also <title> and others switch an HTML5 parser
into raw mode, which causes the rest of the HTML string to be always parsed as
text, including any elements or entities that we do want to support (e.g. <p>).
As we're going to escape any of the raw text elements anyway (it's e.g. script,
style, title, xmp, noframes, and a couple of others) we can just switch of raw
text parsing by disabling it after each starting tag.
The sanitization code does not retain any particular escaped entities - it
parses the HTML and thus loses the information on what entities were in the
original. The result is correct UTF-8 HTML though.
Use an HTML5 compliant parser that interprets HTML as a browser would to parse
the Markdown result and then sanitize based on the result.
Escape unrecognized and disallowed HTML in the result.
Currently works with a hard coded whitelist of safe HTML tags and attributes.
If autolink encounters a link which already has an escaped html entity,
it would escape the ampersand again, producing things like these:
& --> &amp;
" --> &quot;
This commit solves that by first looking for all entity-looking things
in the link and copying those ranges verbatim, only considering the rest
of the string for escaping.
Doesn't seem to have considerable performance impact.
The mailto: links are processed the old way.
When the source Markdown contains an anchor tag with URL as link text
(i.e. <a href=...>http://foo.bar</a>), autolink converts that link text
into another anchor tag, which is nonsense. Detect this situation with
regexp and early exit autolink processing.
This drops the naive approach at <script> tag stripping and resorts to
full sanitization of html. The general idea (and the regexps) is grabbed
from Stack Exchange's PageDown JavaScript Markdown processor[1]. Like in
PageDown, it's implemented as a separate pass over resulting html.
Includes a metric ton (but not all) of test cases from here[2]. Several
are commented out since they don't pass yet.
Stronger (but still incomplete) fix for #11.
