Another very amusing 3-year old bug from the main Instiki Bug Tracker
(don't they ever fix anything?): the chunk-handling code was supposed
to prevent recursive [[!include ...]] statements. Alas, instead of
actually preventing them it would -- when it encountered a recursive
include -- churn away until Rails ran out of stack space.
Fixed.
The html5lib sanitizer does not necessarily produce well-formed output.
Take some "bad" input, wrap it in a <nowiki> tag and -- bingo! -- you get
ill-formed output.
Fixed. (Though, probably, one should fix the html5lib sanitizer, instead.)
Updated to Rails 2.2.2.
Added a couple more Ruby 1.9 fixes, but that's pretty much at a standstill,
until one gets Maruku and HTML5lib working right under Ruby 1.9.
The new sanitizer seems to work well (cuts the time required
to produce the Instiki Atom feed in half). Our strategy is to
use HTML5lib for <nowiki> content, but to use the new sanitizer
for content that has been processed by Maruku (and hence is
well-formed).
The one broken unit test won't affect us (since it dealt with
very malformed HTML).
Start work (which may not pan out) on a new sanitizer. Right now, it passes
all but 1 of the HTML5lib Sanitizer's unit tests. But it doesn't do much
of anything to ensure well-formedness. This is not an issue for Maruku-processed
content, but it is a concern for <nowiki> blocks.
(One solution would be to use the HTML5lib parser on <nowiki> blocks.)
In any case, this baby is 3 times as fast as the HTML5lib sanitizer.
Previously, used a regexp to find and convert named entities in the content.
Now use a more efficient algorithm.
Similar tweak for converting NCRs before checking whether text is valid utf-8.
Upgraded to Rails 2.0.2, except that we maintain
vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/routing.rb
from Rail 1.2.6 (at least for now), so that Routes don't change. We still
get to enjoy Rails's many new features.
Also fixed a bug in Chunk-handling: disable WikiWord processing in tags (for real this time).
OK. This is a better way: define a custom TreeWalker which converts named entities to utf-8 as it goes. This avoids having to do an extra tree traversal in sanitize_rexml, AND avoids the trainwreck that is html5/inputstream.rb.
My REXML::Element.to_ncr (and REXML::Element.to_utf8) is horribly slow. For long documents, it proves more efficient to serialize to a string, apply String.to_ncr (or String.to_utf8) and then Sanitize the string.
Fixed a bug in the HTML5lib tokenizer (affects S5 slideshows).
Some miscellaneous code cleanup. In particular, don't bother with zapping control characters;
instead, rely on is_utf8? method to raise an exception (which we do anyway).
