1.159 mike 264: <code><a href="semantics.html#the-html-element-0">html</a></code> element will be parsed as if they were at the end
265: of the <code><a href="semantics.html#the-body-element-0">body</a></code> element. Thus, space characters around the
1.1 mike 266: root element do not round-trip.</p>
267:
268: <p>It is suggested that newlines be inserted after the DOCTYPE,
269: after any comments that are before the root element, after the

795:
796: <p>While the HTML syntax described in this specification bears a
797: close resemblance to SGML and XML, it is a separate language with
798: its own parsing rules.</p>
799:
1.183 mike 800: <p>Some earlier versions of HTML (in particular from HTML2 to
801: HTML4) were based on SGML and used SGML parsing rules. However, few
1.1 mike 802: (if any) web browsers ever implemented true SGML parsing for HTML
803: documents; the only user agents to strictly handle HTML as an SGML
804: application have historically been validators. The resulting
805: confusion — with validators claiming documents to have one
806: representation while widely deployed Web browsers interoperably
807: implemented a different representation — has wasted decades
808: of productivity. This version of HTML thus returns to a non-SGML
809: basis.</p>
810:
811: <p>Authors interested in using SGML tools in their authoring
812: pipeline are encouraged to use XML tools and the XML serialization
813: of HTML.</p>
814:
815: </div>
816:
817: <p>This specification defines the parsing rules for HTML documents,
818: whether they are syntactically correct or not. Certain points in the
819: parsing algorithm are said to be <dfn id="parse-error" title="parse error">parse

821: user agents must either act as described below when encountering
822: such problems, or must abort processing at the first error that they
823: encounter for which they do not wish to apply the rules described
824: below.</p>
825:
826: <p>Conformance checkers must report at least one parse error
827: condition to the user if one or more parse error conditions exist in
828: the document and must not report parse error conditions if none
829: exist in the document. Conformance checkers may report more than one
1.174 mike 830: parse error condition if more than one parse error condition exists
1.1 mike 831: in the document. Conformance checkers are not required to recover
832: from parse errors.</p>

1.1 mike 907:
908: <p>In some cases, it might be impractical to unambiguously determine
909: the encoding before parsing the document. Because of this, this
910: specification provides for a two-pass mechanism with an optional
911: pre-scan. Implementations are allowed, as described below, to apply
912: a simplified parsing algorithm to whatever bytes they have available
913: before beginning to parse the document. Then, the real parser is
914: started, using a tentative encoding derived from this pre-parse and
915: other out-of-band metadata. If, while the document is being loaded,
916: the user agent discovers an encoding declaration that conflicts with
917: this information, then the parser can get reinvoked to perform a
918: parse of the document with the real encoding.</p>
919:
920: <p id="documentEncoding">User agents must use the following
921: algorithm (the <dfn id="encoding-sniffing-algorithm">encoding sniffing algorithm</dfn>) to determine

924: available to the user agent (e.g. the <a href="infrastructure.html#content-type" title="Content-Type">Content-Type metadata</a> of the document)
925: and all the bytes available so far, and returns an encoding and a

1.1 mike 1954:
1955: <p>Implementations must act as if they used the following state
1956: machine to tokenize HTML. The state machine must start in the
1957: <a href="#data-state">data state</a>. Most states consume a single character,
1958: which may have various side-effects, and either switches the state
1959: machine to a new state to <em>reconsume</em> the same character, or
1960: switches it to a new state (to consume the next character), or
1961: repeats the same state (to consume the next character). Some states
1962: have more complicated behavior and can consume several characters
1963: before switching to another state.</p>
1964:
1965: <p>The exact behavior of certain states depends on a <dfn id="content-model-flag">content
1966: model flag</dfn> that is set after certain tokens are emitted. The
1.91 mike 1967: flag has several states: <i title="">PCDATA</i>, <i title="">RCDATA</i>, <i title="">RAWTEXT</i>, and <i title="">PLAINTEXT</i>. Initially, it must be in the PCDATA
1968: state. In the RCDATA and RAWTEXT states, a further <dfn id="escape-flag">escape
1.1 mike 1969: flag</dfn> is used to control the behavior of the tokenizer. It is
1970: either true or false, and initially must be set to the false
1971: state. The <a href="#insertion-mode">insertion mode</a> and the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open
1972: elements</a> also affects tokenization.</p>
1973:
1974: <p>The output of the tokenization step is a series of zero or more
1975: of the following tokens: DOCTYPE, start tag, end tag, comment,
1976: character, end-of-file. DOCTYPE tokens have a name, a public
1977: identifier, a system identifier, and a <i>force-quirks
1978: flag</i>. When a DOCTYPE token is created, its name, public
1979: identifier, and system identifier must be marked as missing (which
1980: is a distinct state from the empty string), and the <i>force-quirks
1981: flag</i> must be set to <i>off</i> (its other state is
1982: <i>on</i>). Start and end tag tokens have a tag name, a
1983: <i>self-closing flag</i>, and a list of attributes, each of which
1984: has a name and a value. When a start or end tag token is created,
1985: its <i>self-closing flag</i> must be unset (its other state is that
1986: it be set), and its attributes list must be empty. Comment and
1987: character tokens have data.</p>
1988:
1989: <p>When a token is emitted, it must immediately be handled by the
1990: <a href="#tree-construction">tree construction</a> stage. The tree construction stage
1991: can affect the state of the <a href="#content-model-flag">content model flag</a>, and can
1992: insert additional characters into the stream. (For example, the
1993: <code><a href="semantics.html#script">script</a></code> element can result in scripts executing and
1.159 mike 1994: using the <a href="embedded-content-0.html#dynamic-markup-insertion">dynamic markup insertion</a> APIs to insert
1.1 mike 1995: characters into the stream being tokenized.)</p>

7021: 1212 1 Here's a tricky case from bug 22596: <h5><li><h5>
7022: 1213 How do we know that the 2nd <h5> should close the <LI> rather than nest inside the <LI>?
7023: 1214 (Afterall, the <h5> is a legal child of the <LI>).
7024: 1215
7025: 1216 The way you know is that there is no root between the two, so the <h5> binds more
7026: 1217 tightly to the 1st <h5> than to the <LI>.
7027: 1218 2. Also, bug 6148 shows this case: <SPAN><DIV><SPAN>

7097: attributes.</p>
7098:
7099: <p>The tool may annotate the output with any namespace declarations
7100: required for proper operation.</p>
7101:
7102: <p>If the XML API being used restricts the allowable characters in
7103: the local names of elements and attributes, then the tool may map
7104: all element and attribute local names that the API wouldn't support
7105: to a set of names that <em>are</em> allowed, by replacing any
7106: character that isn't supported with the uppercase letter U and the
7107: six digits of the character's Unicode code point when expressed in
7108: hexadecimal, using digits 0-9 and capital letters A-F as the
7109: symbols, in increasing numeric order.</p>
7110:
7111: <p class="example">For example, the element name <code title="">foo<bar</code>, which can be output by the <a href="#html-parser">HTML
7112: parser</a>, though it is neither a legal HTML element name nor a
7113: well-formed XML element name, would be converted into <code title="">fooU00003Cbar</code>, which <em>is</em> a well-formed XML
7114: element name (though it's still not legal in HTML by any means).</p>
7115:
7116: <p class="example">As another example, consider the attribute
7117: <code>xlink:href</code>. Used on a MathML element, it becomes, after
7118: being <a href="#adjust-foreign-attributes" title="adjust foreign attributes">adjusted</a>, an
7119: attribute with a prefix "<code title="">xlink</code>" and a local
7120: name "<code title="">href</code>". However, used on an HTML element,
7121: it becomes an attribute with no prefix and the local name "<code title="">xlink:href</code>", which is not a valid NCName, and thus
7122: might not be accepted by an XML API. It could thus get converted,
7123: becoming "<code title="">xlinkU00003Ahref</code>".</p>
7124:
7125: <p class="note">The resulting names from this conversion
7126: conveniently can't clash with any attribute generated by the
7127: <a href="#html-parser">HTML parser</a>, since those are all either lowercase or
7128: those listed in the <a href="#adjust-foreign-attributes">adjust foreign attributes</a>
7129: algorithm's table.</p>
7130:
7131: <p>If the XML API restricts comments from having two consecutive
7132: U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS characters (--), the tool may insert a single
7133: U+0020 SPACE character between any such offending characters.</p>
7134:
7135: <p>If the XML API restricts comments from ending in a
7136: U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS character (-), the tool may insert a single
7137: U+0020 SPACE character at the end of such comments.</p>
7138:
7139: <p>If the XML API restricts allowed characters in character data,
7140: the tool may replace any U+000C FORM FEED (FF) character with a
7141: U+0020 SPACE character, and any other literal non-XML character with
7142: a U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.</p>
7143:
7144: <p>If the tool has no way to convey out-of-band information, then
7145: the tool may drop the following information:</p>
7146:
7147: <ul><li>Whether the document is set to <i><a href="dom.html#no-quirks-mode">no quirks mode</a></i>,
7148: <i><a href="dom.html#limited-quirks-mode">limited quirks mode</a></i>, or <i><a href="dom.html#quirks-mode">quirks mode</a></i></li>
7149:
7150: <li>The association between form controls and forms that aren't
7151: their nearest <code><a href="forms.html#the-form-element">form</a></code> element ancestor (use of the
7152: <a href="#form-element-pointer"><code>form</code> element pointer</a> in the parser)</li>
7153:
7154: </ul><p class="note">The mutations allowed by this section apply
7155: <em>after</em> the <a href="#html-parser">HTML parser</a>'s rules have been
7156: applied. For example, a <code title=""><a::></code> start tag
7157: will be closed by a <code title=""></a::></code> end tag, and
7158: never by a <code title=""></aU00003AU00003A></code> end tag, even
7159: if the user agent is using the rules above to then generate an

7177: follows:</p>
7178:
7179: <pre><p>1<b>2<i>3</b>4</i>5</p></pre>
7180:
7181: <p>The parsing of this markup is straightforward up to the "3". At
7182: this point, the DOM looks like this:</p>
7183:
1.159 mike 7184: <ul class="domTree"><li class="t1"><code><a href="semantics.html#the-html-element-0">html</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="semantics.html#the-head-element-0">head</a></code></li><li class="t1"><code><a href="semantics.html#the-body-element-0">body</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">1</span></li><li class="t1"><code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">2</span></li><li class="t1"><code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-i-element">i</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">3</span></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><p>Here, the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open elements</a> has five elements
7185: on it: <code><a href="semantics.html#the-html-element-0">html</a></code>, <code><a href="semantics.html#the-body-element-0">body</a></code>, <code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code>,
1.1 mike 7186: <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code>, and <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-i-element">i</a></code>. The <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active

7189:
7190: <p>Upon receiving the end tag token with the tag name "b", the "<a href="#adoptionAgency">adoption agency algorithm</a>" is
7191: invoked. This is a simple case, in that the <var title="">formatting
7192: element</var> is the <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code> element, and there is no
7193: <var title="">furthest block</var>. Thus, the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open
1.159 mike 7194: elements</a> ends up with just three elements: <code><a href="semantics.html#the-html-element-0">html</a></code>,
7195: <code><a href="semantics.html#the-body-element-0">body</a></code>, and <code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code>, while the <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of
1.1 mike 7196: active formatting elements</a> has just one: <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-i-element">i</a></code>. The
7197: DOM tree is unmodified at this point.</p>
7198:
7199: <p>The next token is a character ("4"), triggers the <a href="#reconstruct-the-active-formatting-elements" title="reconstruct the active formatting elements">reconstruction of
7200: the active formatting elements</a>, in this case just the
7201: <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-i-element">i</a></code> element. A new <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-i-element">i</a></code> element is thus created
7202: for the "4" text node. After the end tag token for the "i" is also
7203: received, and the "5" text node is inserted, the DOM looks as
7204: follows:</p>
7205:
1.159 mike 7206: <ul class="domTree"><li class="t1"><code><a href="semantics.html#the-html-element-0">html</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="semantics.html#the-head-element-0">head</a></code></li><li class="t1"><code><a href="semantics.html#the-body-element-0">body</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">1</span></li><li class="t1"><code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">2</span></li><li class="t1"><code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-i-element">i</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">3</span></li></ul></li></ul></li><li class="t1"><code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-i-element">i</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">4</span></li></ul></li><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">5</span></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><h5 id="misnested-tags:-b-p-b-p"><span class="secno">9.2.8.2 </span>Misnested tags: <b><p></b></p></h5>
1.1 mike 7207:
7208: <p><i>This section is non-normative.</i></p>
7209:
7210: <p>A case similar to the previous one is the following:</p>
7211:
7212: <pre><b>1<p>2</b>3</p></pre>
7213:
7214: <p>Up to the "2" the parsing here is straightforward:</p>
7215:

1.1 mike 7217: "b" is parsed.</p>
7218:
7219: <p>Before that token is seen, the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open
1.159 mike 7220: elements</a> has four elements on it: <code><a href="semantics.html#the-html-element-0">html</a></code>,
7221: <code><a href="semantics.html#the-body-element-0">body</a></code>, <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code>, and <code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code>. The
1.1 mike 7222: <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active formatting elements</a> just has the one:
7223: <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code>. The <a href="#insertion-mode">insertion mode</a> is "<a href="#parsing-main-inbody" title="insertion mode: in body">in body</a>".</p>
7224:
7225: <p>Upon receiving the end tag token with the tag name "b", the "<a href="#adoptionAgency">adoption agency algorithm</a>" is invoked, as
7226: in the previous example. However, in this case, there <em>is</em> a
7227: <var title="">furthest block</var>, namely the <code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code> element. Thus,
7228: this time the adoption agency algorithm isn't skipped over.</p>
7229:
1.159 mike 7230: <p>The <var title="">common ancestor</var> is the <code><a href="semantics.html#the-body-element-0">body</a></code>
1.1 mike 7231: element. A conceptual "bookmark" marks the position of the
7232: <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code> in the <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active formatting
7233: elements</a>, but since that list has only one element in it,
7234: it won't have much effect.</p>
7235:
7236: <p>As the algorithm progresses, <var title="">node</var> ends up set
7237: to the formatting element (<code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code>), and <var title="">last
7238: node</var> ends up set to the <var title="">furthest block</var>
7239: (<code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code>).</p>
7240:
7241: <p>The <var title="">last node</var> gets appended (moved) to the
7242: <var title="">common ancestor</var>, so that the DOM looks like:</p>
7243:

7258:
7259: <p>Error handling in tables is, for historical reasons, especially
7260: strange. For example, consider the following markup:</p>
7261:
7262: <pre><table><strong><b></strong><tr><td>aaa</td></tr><strong>bbb</strong></table>ccc</pre>
7263:
7264: <p>The highlighted <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code> element start tag is not allowed
7265: directly inside a table like that, and the parser handles this case
7266: by placing the element <em>before</em> the table. (This is called <i title="foster parent"><a href="#foster-parent">foster parenting</a></i>.) This can be seen by
7267: examining the DOM tree as it stands just after the
7268: <code><a href="tabular-data.html#the-table-element">table</a></code> element's start tag has been seen:</p>
