1.1 mike 2175:
2176: <p>Implementations must act as if they used the following state
2177: machine to tokenize HTML. The state machine must start in the
2178: <a href="#data-state">data state</a>. Most states consume a single character,
2179: which may have various side-effects, and either switches the state
2180: machine to a new state to <em>reconsume</em> the same character, or
2181: switches it to a new state (to consume the next character), or
2182: repeats the same state (to consume the next character). Some states
2183: have more complicated behavior and can consume several characters
1.541 mike 2184: before switching to another state. In some cases, the tokenizer
2185: state is also changed by the tree construction stage.</p>
1.1 mike 2186:
1.541 mike 2187: <p>The exact behavior of certain states depends on the
2188: <a href="#insertion-mode">insertion mode</a> and the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open
2189: elements</a>. Certain states also use a <dfn id="temporary-buffer"><var>temporary
2190: buffer</var></dfn> to track progress.</p>
1.1 mike 2191:
2192: <p>The output of the tokenization step is a series of zero or more
2193: of the following tokens: DOCTYPE, start tag, end tag, comment,
2194: character, end-of-file. DOCTYPE tokens have a name, a public
2195: identifier, a system identifier, and a <i>force-quirks
2196: flag</i>. When a DOCTYPE token is created, its name, public
2197: identifier, and system identifier must be marked as missing (which
2198: is a distinct state from the empty string), and the <i>force-quirks
2199: flag</i> must be set to <i>off</i> (its other state is
2200: <i>on</i>). Start and end tag tokens have a tag name, a
2201: <i>self-closing flag</i>, and a list of attributes, each of which
2202: has a name and a value. When a start or end tag token is created,
2203: its <i>self-closing flag</i> must be unset (its other state is that
2204: it be set), and its attributes list must be empty. Comment and
2205: character tokens have data.</p>
2206:
2207: <p>When a token is emitted, it must immediately be handled by the
2208: <a href="#tree-construction">tree construction</a> stage. The tree construction stage
1.541 mike 2209: can affect the state of the tokenization stage, and can insert
2210: additional characters into the stream. (For example, the
1.1 mike 2211: <code><a href="semantics.html#script">script</a></code> element can result in scripts executing and
1.159 mike 2212: using the <a href="embedded-content-0.html#dynamic-markup-insertion">dynamic markup insertion</a> APIs to insert
1.1 mike 2213: characters into the stream being tokenized.)</p>

2216: flag</i> set, if the flag is not <dfn id="acknowledge-self-closing-flag" title="acknowledge

2218: tree construction stage, that is a <a href="#parse-error">parse error</a>.</p>

1.1 mike 7962:
7963: <p>When an application uses an <a href="#html-parser">HTML parser</a> in
7964: conjunction with an XML pipeline, it is possible that the
7965: constructed DOM is not compatible with the XML tool chain in certain
7966: subtle ways. For example, an XML toolchain might not be able to
7967: represent attributes with the name <code title="">xmlns</code>,
7968: since they conflict with the Namespaces in XML syntax. There is also
7969: some data that the <a href="#html-parser">HTML parser</a> generates that isn't
7970: included in the DOM itself. This section specifies some rules for
7971: handling these issues.</p>
7972:
7973: <p>If the XML API being used doesn't support DOCTYPEs, the tool may
7974: drop DOCTYPEs altogether.</p>
7975:
7976: <p>If the XML API doesn't support attributes in no namespace that
7977: are named "<code title="">xmlns</code>", attributes whose names
7978: start with "<code title="">xmlns:</code>", or attributes in the
1.724 mike 7979: <a href="infrastructure.html#xmlns-namespace">XMLNS namespace</a>, then the tool may drop such
1.1 mike 7980: attributes.</p>
7981:
7982: <p>The tool may annotate the output with any namespace declarations
7983: required for proper operation.</p>
7984:
7985: <p>If the XML API being used restricts the allowable characters in
7986: the local names of elements and attributes, then the tool may map
7987: all element and attribute local names that the API wouldn't support
7988: to a set of names that <em>are</em> allowed, by replacing any
7989: character that isn't supported with the uppercase letter U and the
7990: six digits of the character's Unicode code point when expressed in
7991: hexadecimal, using digits 0-9 and capital letters A-F as the
7992: symbols, in increasing numeric order.</p>
7993:
7994: <p class="example">For example, the element name <code title="">foo<bar</code>, which can be output by the <a href="#html-parser">HTML
7995: parser</a>, though it is neither a legal HTML element name nor a
7996: well-formed XML element name, would be converted into <code title="">fooU00003Cbar</code>, which <em>is</em> a well-formed XML
7997: element name (though it's still not legal in HTML by any means).</p>
7998:
7999: <p class="example">As another example, consider the attribute
8000: <code>xlink:href</code>. Used on a MathML element, it becomes, after
8001: being <a href="#adjust-foreign-attributes" title="adjust foreign attributes">adjusted</a>, an
8002: attribute with a prefix "<code title="">xlink</code>" and a local
8003: name "<code title="">href</code>". However, used on an HTML element,
8004: it becomes an attribute with no prefix and the local name "<code title="">xlink:href</code>", which is not a valid NCName, and thus
8005: might not be accepted by an XML API. It could thus get converted,
8006: becoming "<code title="">xlinkU00003Ahref</code>".</p>
8007:
8008: <p class="note">The resulting names from this conversion
8009: conveniently can't clash with any attribute generated by the
8010: <a href="#html-parser">HTML parser</a>, since those are all either lowercase or
8011: those listed in the <a href="#adjust-foreign-attributes">adjust foreign attributes</a>
8012: algorithm's table.</p>
8013:
8014: <p>If the XML API restricts comments from having two consecutive
8015: U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS characters (--), the tool may insert a single
8016: U+0020 SPACE character between any such offending characters.</p>
8017:
8018: <p>If the XML API restricts comments from ending in a
8019: U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS character (-), the tool may insert a single
8020: U+0020 SPACE character at the end of such comments.</p>
8021:
8022: <p>If the XML API restricts allowed characters in character data,
1.439 mike 8023: attribute values, or comments, the tool may replace any U+000C FORM
8024: FEED (FF) character with a U+0020 SPACE character, and any other
8025: literal non-XML character with a U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.</p>
1.1 mike 8026:
8027: <p>If the tool has no way to convey out-of-band information, then
8028: the tool may drop the following information:</p>
8029:
8030: <ul><li>Whether the document is set to <i><a href="dom.html#no-quirks-mode">no quirks mode</a></i>,
8031: <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>
8032:
8033: <li>The association between form controls and forms that aren't
8034: their nearest <code><a href="forms.html#the-form-element">form</a></code> element ancestor (use of the
8035: <a href="#form-element-pointer"><code>form</code> element pointer</a> in the parser)</li>
8036:
8037: </ul><p class="note">The mutations allowed by this section apply
8038: <em>after</em> the <a href="#html-parser">HTML parser</a>'s rules have been
8039: applied. For example, a <code title=""><a::></code> start tag
8040: will be closed by a <code title=""></a::></code> end tag, and
8041: never by a <code title=""></aU00003AU00003A></code> end tag, even

8066:

8068: 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 8069: <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

8072:
8073: <p>Upon receiving the end tag token with the tag name "b", the "<a href="#adoptionAgency">adoption agency algorithm</a>" is
8074: invoked. This is a simple case, in that the <var title="">formatting
8075: element</var> is the <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code> element, and there is no
8076: <var title="">furthest block</var>. Thus, the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open
1.159 mike 8077: elements</a> ends up with just three elements: <code><a href="semantics.html#the-html-element-0">html</a></code>,
8078: <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 8079: active formatting elements</a> has just one: <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-i-element">i</a></code>. The
8080: DOM tree is unmodified at this point.</p>
8081:
8082: <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

8084: <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

1.1 mike 8100: "b" is parsed.</p>
8101:
8102: <p>Before that token is seen, the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open

8107:
8108: <p>Upon receiving the end tag token with the tag name "b", the "<a href="#adoptionAgency">adoption agency algorithm</a>" is invoked, as
8109: in the previous example. However, in this case, there <em>is</em> a
8110: <var title="">furthest block</var>, namely the <code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code> element. Thus,
8111: this time the adoption agency algorithm isn't skipped over.</p>
8112:
1.159 mike 8113: <p>The <var title="">common ancestor</var> is the <code><a href="semantics.html#the-body-element-0">body</a></code>
1.1 mike 8114: element. A conceptual "bookmark" marks the position of the
8115: <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
8116: elements</a>, but since that list has only one element in it,
8117: it won't have much effect.</p>
8118:
8119: <p>As the algorithm progresses, <var title="">node</var> ends up set
8120: to the formatting element (<code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code>), and <var title="">last
8121: node</var> ends up set to the <var title="">furthest block</var>
8122: (<code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code>).</p>
8123:
8124: <p>The <var title="">last node</var> gets appended (moved) to the

8141:
8142: <p>Error handling in tables is, for historical reasons, especially
8143: strange. For example, consider the following markup:</p>
8144:
8145: <pre><table><strong><b></strong><tr><td>aaa</td></tr><strong>bbb</strong></table>ccc</pre>
8146:
8147: <p>The highlighted <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code> element start tag is not allowed
8148: directly inside a table like that, and the parser handles this case
8149: 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
8150: examining the DOM tree as it stands just after the
8151: <code><a href="tabular-data.html#the-table-element">table</a></code> element's start tag has been seen:</p>

8163:
8164: <p>The <code><a href="tabular-data.html#the-tr-element">tr</a></code> start tag causes the <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-b-element">b</a></code> element
