Well, this + document is how to implement elements and attributes which HTML Purifier + doesn't support out of the box. +</p> + +<h2>Is it necessary?</h2> + +<p> + Before we even write any code, it is paramount to consider whether or + not the code we're writing is necessary or not. HTML Purifier, by default, + contains a large set of elements and attributes: large enough so that + <em>any</em> element or attribute in XHTML 1.0 or 1.1 (and its HTML variants) + that can be safely used by the general public is implemented. +</p> + +<p> + So what needs to be implemented? (Feel free to skip this section if + you know what you want). +</p> + +<h3>XHTML 1.0</h3> + +<p> + All of the modules listed below are based off of the + <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xhtml-modularization-20010410/abstract_modules.html#sec_5.2.">modularization of + XHTML</a>, which, while technically for XHTML 1.1, is quite a useful + resource. +</p> + +<ul> + <li>Structure</li> + <li>Frames</li> + <li>Applets (deprecated)</li> + <li>Forms</li> + <li>Image maps</li> + <li>Objects</li> + <li>Frames</li> + <li>Events</li> + <li>Meta-information</li> + <li>Style sheets</li> + <li>Link (not hypertext)</li> + <li>Base</li> + <li>Name</li> +</ul> + +<p> + If you don't recognize it, you probably don't need it. But the curious + can look all of these modules up in the above-mentioned document. Note + that inline scripting comes packaged with HTML Purifier (more on this + later). +</p> + +<h3>XHTML 1.1</h3> + +<p> + As of HTMLPurifier 2.1.0, we have implemented the + <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-ruby-20010531/">Ruby module</a>, + which defines a set of tags + for publishing short annotations for text, used mostly in Japanese + and Chinese school texts, but applicable for positioning any text (not + limited to translations) above or below other corresponding text. +</p> + +<h3>HTML 5</h3> + +<p> + <a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/">HTML 5</a> + is a fork of HTML 4.01 by WHATWG, who believed that XHTML 2.0 was headed + in the wrong direction. It too is a working draft, and may change + drastically before publication, but it should be noted that the + <code>canvas</code> tag has been implemented by many browser vendors. +</p> + +<h3>Proprietary</h3> + +<p> + There are a number of proprietary tags still in the wild. Many of them + have been documented in <a href="ref-proprietary-tags.txt">ref-proprietary-tags.txt</a>, + but there is currently no implementation for any of them. +</p> + +<h3>Extensions</h3> + +<p> + There are also a number of other XML languages out there that can + be embedded in HTML documents: two of the most popular are MathML and + SVG, and I frequently get requests to implement these. But they are + expansive, comprehensive specifications, and it would take far too long + to implement them <em>correctly</em> (most systems I've seen go as far + as whitelisting tags and no further; come on, what about nesting!) +</p> + +<p> + Word of warning: HTML Purifier is currently <em>not</em> namespace + aware. +</p> + +<h2>Giving back</h2> + +<p> + As you may imagine from the details above (don't be abashed if you didn't + read it all: a glance over would have done), there's quite a bit that + HTML Purifier doesn't implement. Recent architectural changes have + allowed HTML Purifier to implement elements and attributes that are not + safe! Don't worry, they won't be activated unless you set %HTML.Trusted + to true, but they certainly help out users who need to put, say, forms + on their page and don't want to go through the trouble of reading this + and implementing it themself. +</p> + +<p> + So any of the above that you implement for your own application could + help out some other poor sap on the other side of the globe. Help us + out, and send back code so that it can be hammered into a module and + released with the core. Any code would be greatly appreciated! +</p> + +<h2>And now...</h2> + +<p> + Enough philosophical talk, time for some code: +</p> + +<pre>$config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault(); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionID', 'enduser-customize.html tutorial'); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionRev', 1); +if ($def = $config->maybeGetRawHTMLDefinition()) { + // our code will go here +}</pre> + +<p> + Assuming that HTML Purifier has already been properly loaded (hint: + include <code>HTMLPurifier.auto.php</code>), this code will set up + the environment that you need to start customizing the HTML definition. + What's going on? +</p> + +<ul> + <li> + The first three lines are regular configuration code: + <ul> + <li> + %HTML.DefinitionID is set to a unique identifier for your + custom HTML definition. This prevents it from clobbering + other custom definitions on the same installation. + </li> + <li> + %HTML.DefinitionRev is a revision integer of your HTML + definition. Because HTML definitions are cached, you'll need + to increment this whenever you make a change in order to flush + the cache. + </li> + </ul> + </li> + <li> + The fourth line retrieves a raw <code>HTMLPurifier_HTMLDefinition</code> + object that we will be tweaking. Interestingly enough, we have + placed it in an if block: this is because + <code>maybeGetRawHTMLDefinition</code>, as its name suggests, may + return a NULL, in which case we should skip doing any + initialization. This, in fact, will correspond to when our fully + customized object is already in the cache. + </li> +</ul> + +<h2>Turn off caching</h2> + +<p> + To make development easier, we're going to temporarily turn off + definition caching: +</p> + +<pre>$config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault(); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionID', 'enduser-customize.html tutorial'); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionRev', 1); +<strong>$config->set('Cache.DefinitionImpl', null); // TODO: remove this later!</strong> +$def = $config->getHTMLDefinition(true);</pre> + +<p> + A few things should be mentioned about the caching mechanism before + we move on. For performance reasons, HTML Purifier caches generated + <code>HTMLPurifier_Definition</code> objects in serialized files + stored (by default) in <code>library/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer</code>. + A lot of processing is done in order to create these objects, so it + makes little sense to repeat the same processing over and over again + whenever HTML Purifier is called. +</p> + +<p> + In order to identify a cache entry, HTML Purifier uses three variables: + the library's version number, the value of %HTML.DefinitionRev and + a serial of relevant configuration. Whenever any of these changes, + a new HTML definition is generated. Notice that there is no way + for the definition object to track changes to customizations: here, it + is up to you to supply appropriate information to DefinitionID and + DefinitionRev. +</p> + +<h2 id="addAttribute">Add an attribute</h2> + +<p> + For this example, we're going to implement the <code>target</code> attribute found + on <code>a</code> elements. To implement an attribute, we have to + ask a few questions: +</p> + +<ol> + <li>What element is it found on?</li> + <li>What is its name?</li> + <li>Is it required or optional?</li> + <li>What are valid values for it?</li> +</ol> + +<p> + The first three are easy: the element is <code>a</code>, the attribute + is <code>target</code>, and it is not a required attribute. (If it + was required, we'd need to append an asterisk to the attribute name, + you'll see an example of this in the addElement() example). +</p> + +<p> + The last question is a little trickier. + Lets allow the special values: _blank, _self, _target and _top. + The form of this is called an <strong>enumeration</strong>, a list of + valid values, although only one can be used at a time. To translate + this into code form, we write: +</p> + +<pre>$config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault(); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionID', 'enduser-customize.html tutorial'); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionRev', 1); +$config->set('Cache.DefinitionImpl', null); // remove this later! +$def = $config->getHTMLDefinition(true); +<strong>$def->addAttribute('a', 'target', 'Enum#_blank,_self,_target,_top');</strong></pre> + +<p> + The <code>Enum#_blank,_self,_target,_top</code> does all the magic. + The string is split into two parts, separated by a hash mark (#): +</p> + +<ol> + <li>The first part is the name of what we call an <code>AttrDef</code></li> + <li>The second part is the parameter of the above-mentioned <code>AttrDef</code></li> +</ol> + +<p> + If that sounds vague and generic, it's because it is! HTML Purifier defines + an assortment of different attribute types one can use, and each of these + has their own specialized parameter format. Here are some of the more useful + ones: +</p> + +<table class="table"> + <thead> + <tr> + <th>Type</th> + <th>Format</th> + <th>Description</th> + </tr> + </thead> + <tbody> + <tr> + <th>Enum</th> + <td><em>[s:]</em>value1,value2,...</td> + <td> + Attribute with a number of valid values, one of which may be used. When + s: is present, the enumeration is case sensitive. + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Bool</th> + <td>attribute_name</td> + <td> + Boolean attribute, with only one valid value: the name + of the attribute. + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>CDATA</th> + <td></td> + <td> + Attribute of arbitrary text. Can also be referred to as <strong>Text</strong> + (the specification makes a semantic distinction between the two). + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>ID</th> + <td></td> + <td> + Attribute that specifies a unique ID + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Pixels</th> + <td></td> + <td> + Attribute that specifies an integer pixel length + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Length</th> + <td></td> + <td> + Attribute that specifies a pixel or percentage length + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>NMTOKENS</th> + <td></td> + <td> + Attribute that specifies a number of name tokens, example: the + <code>class</code> attribute + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>URI</th> + <td></td> + <td> + Attribute that specifies a URI, example: the <code>href</code> + attribute + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Number</th> + <td></td> + <td> + Attribute that specifies an positive integer number + </td> + </tr> + </tbody> +</table> + +<p> + For a complete list, consult + <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/htmlpurifier.git?a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=library/HTMLPurifier/AttrTypes.php"><code>library/HTMLPurifier/AttrTypes.php</code></a>; + more information on attributes that accept parameters can be found on their + respective includes in + <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/htmlpurifier.git?a=tree;hb=HEAD;f=library/HTMLPurifier/AttrDef"><code>library/HTMLPurifier/AttrDef</code></a>. +</p> + +<p> + Sometimes, the restrictive list in AttrTypes just doesn't cut it. Don't + sweat: you can also use a fully instantiated object as the value. The + equivalent, verbose form of the above example is: +</p> + +<pre>$config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault(); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionID', 'enduser-customize.html tutorial'); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionRev', 1); +$config->set('Cache.DefinitionImpl', null); // remove this later! +$def = $config->getHTMLDefinition(true); +<strong>$def->addAttribute('a', 'target', new HTMLPurifier_AttrDef_Enum( + array('_blank','_self','_target','_top') +));</strong></pre> + +<p> + Trust me, you'll learn to love the shorthand. +</p> + +<h2>Add an element</h2> + +<p> + Adding attributes is really small-fry stuff, though, and it was possible + to add them (albeit a bit more wordy) prior to 2.0. The real gem of + the Advanced API is adding elements. There are five questions to + ask when adding a new element: +</p> + +<ol> + <li>What is the element's name?</li> + <li>What content set does this element belong to?</li> + <li>What are the allowed children of this element?</li> + <li>What attributes does the element allow that are general?</li> + <li>What attributes does the element allow that are specific to this element?</li> +</ol> + +<p> + It's a mouthful, and you'll be slightly lost if your not familiar with + the HTML specification, so let's explain them step by step. +</p> + +<h3>Content set</h3> + +<p> + The HTML specification defines two major content sets: Inline + and Block. Each of these + content sets contain a list of elements: Inline contains things like + <code>span</code> and <code>b</code> while Block contains things like + <code>div</code> and <code>blockquote</code>. +</p> + +<p> + These content sets amount to a macro mechanism for HTML definition. Most + elements in HTML are organized into one of these two sets, and most + elements in HTML allow elements from one of these sets. If we had + to write each element verbatim into each other element's allowed + children, we would have ridiculously large lists; instead we use + content sets to compactify the declaration. +</p> + +<p> + Practically speaking, there are several useful values you can use here: +</p> + +<table class="table"> + <thead> + <tr> + <th>Content set</th> + <th>Description</th> + </tr> + </thead> + <tbody> + <tr> + <th>Inline</th> + <td>Character level elements, text</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Block</th> + <td>Block-like elements, like paragraphs and lists</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th><em>false</em></th> + <td> + Any element that doesn't fit into the mold, for example <code>li</code> + or <code>tr</code> + </td> + </tr> + </tbody> +</table> + +<p> + By specifying a valid value here, all other elements that use that + content set will also allow your element, without you having to do + anything. If you specify <em>false</em>, you'll have to register + your element manually. +</p> + +<h3>Allowed children</h3> + +<p> + Allowed children defines the elements that this element can contain. + The allowed values may range from none to a complex regexp depending on + your element. +</p> + +<p> + If you've ever taken a look at the HTML DTD's before, you may have + noticed declarations like this: +</p> + +<pre><!ELEMENT LI - O (%flow;)* -- list item --></pre> + +<p> + The <code>(%flow;)*</code> indicates the allowed children of the + <code>li</code> tag: <code>li</code> allows any number of flow + elements as its children. (The <code>- O</code> allows the closing tag to be + omitted, though in XML this is not allowed.) In HTML Purifier, + we'd write it like <code>Flow</code> (here's where the content sets + we were discussing earlier come into play). There are three shorthand + content models you can specify: +</p> + +<table class="table"> + <thead> + <tr> + <th>Content model</th> + <th>Description</th> + </tr> + </thead> + <tbody> + <tr> + <th>Empty</th> + <td>No children allowed, like <code>br</code> or <code>hr</code></td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Inline</th> + <td>Any number of inline elements and text, like <code>span</code></td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Flow</th> + <td>Any number of inline elements, block elements and text, like <code>div</code></td> + </tr> + </tbody> +</table> + +<p> + This covers 90% of all the cases out there, but what about elements that + break the mold like <code>ul</code>? This guy requires at least one + child, and the only valid children for it are <code>li</code>. The + content model is: <code>Required: li</code>. There are two parts: the + first type determines what <code>ChildDef</code> will be used to validate + content models. The most common values are: +</p> + +<table class="table"> + <thead> + <tr> + <th>Type</th> + <th>Description</th> + </tr> + </thead> + <tbody> + <tr> + <th>Required</th> + <td>Children must be one or more of the valid elements</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Optional</th> + <td>Children can be any number of the valid elements</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Custom</th> + <td>Children must follow the DTD-style regex</td> + </tr> + </tbody> +</table> + +<p> + You can also implement your own <code>ChildDef</code>: this was done + for a few special cases in HTML Purifier such as <code>Chameleon</code> + (for <code>ins</code> and <code>del</code>), <code>StrictBlockquote</code> + and <code>Table</code>. +</p> + +<p> + The second part specifies either valid elements or a regular expression. + Valid elements are separated with horizontal bars (|), i.e. + "<code>a | b | c</code>". Use #PCDATA to represent plain text. + Regular expressions are based off of DTD's style: +</p> + +<ul> + <li>Parentheses () are used for grouping</li> + <li>Commas (,) separate elements that should come one after another</li> + <li>Horizontal bars (|) indicate one or the other elements should be used</li> + <li>Plus signs (+) are used for a one or more match</li> + <li>Asterisks (*) are used for a zero or more match</li> + <li>Question marks (?) are used for a zero or one match</li> +</ul> + +<p> + For example, "<code>a, b?, (c | d), e+, f*</code>" means "In this order, + one <code>a</code> element, at most one <code>b</code> element, + one <code>c</code> or <code>d</code> element (but not both), one or more + <code>e</code> elements, and any number of <code>f</code> elements." + Regex veterans should be able to jump right in, and those not so savvy + can always copy-paste W3C's content model definitions into HTML Purifier + and hope for the best. +</p> + +<p> + A word of warning: while the regex format is extremely flexible on + the developer's side, it is + quite unforgiving on the user's side. If the user input does not <em>exactly</em> + match the specification, the entire contents of the element will + be nuked. This is why there is are specific content model types like + Optional and Required: while they could be implemented as <code>Custom: + (valid | elements)*</code>, the custom classes contain special recovery + measures that make sure as much of the user's original content gets + through. HTML Purifier's core, as a rule, does not use Custom. +</p> + +<p> + One final note: you can also use Content Sets inside your valid elements + lists or regular expressions. In fact, the three shorthand content models + mentioned above are just that: abbreviations: +</p> + +<table class="table"> + <thead> + <tr> + <th>Content model</th> + <th>Implementation</th> + </tr> + </thead> + <tbody> + <tr> + <th>Inline</th> + <td>Optional: Inline | #PCDATA</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Flow</th> + <td>Optional: Flow | #PCDATA</td> + </tr> + </tbody> +</table> + +<p> + When the definition is compiled, Inline will be replaced with a + horizontal-bar separated list of inline elements. Also, notice that + it does not contain text: you have to specify that yourself. +</p> + +<h3>Common attributes</h3> + +<p> + Congratulations: you have just gotten over the proverbial hump (Allowed + children). Common attributes is much simpler, and boils down to + one question: does your element have the <code>id</code>, <code>style</code>, + <code>class</code>, <code>title</code> and <code>lang</code> attributes? + If so, you'll want to specify the <code>Common</code> attribute collection, + which contains these five attributes that are found on almost every + HTML element in the specification. +</p> + +<p> + There are a few more collections, but they're really edge cases: +</p> + +<table class="table"> + <thead> + <tr> + <th>Collection</th> + <th>Attributes</th> + </tr> + </thead> + <tbody> + <tr> + <th>I18N</th> + <td><code>lang</code>, possibly <code>xml:lang</code></td> + </tr> + <tr> + <th>Core</th> + <td><code>style</code>, <code>class</code>, <code>id</code> and <code>title</code></td> + </tr> + </tbody> +</table> + +<p> + Common is a combination of the above-mentioned collections. +</p> + +<p class="aside"> + Readers familiar with the modularization may have noticed that the Core + attribute collection differs from that specified by the <a + href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/abstract_modules.html#s_commonatts">abstract + modules of the XHTML Modularization 1.1</a>. We believe this section + to be in error, as <code>br</code> permits the use of the <code>style</code> + attribute even though it uses the <code>Core</code> collection, and + the DTD and XML Schemas supplied by W3C support our interpretation. +</p> + +<h3>Attributes</h3> + +<p> + If you didn't read the <a href="#addAttribute">earlier section on + adding attributes</a>, read it now. The last parameter is simply + an array of attribute names to attribute implementations, in the exact + same format as <code>addAttribute()</code>. +</p> + +<h3>Putting it all together</h3> + +<p> + We're going to implement <code>form</code>. Before we embark, lets + grab a reference implementation from over at the + <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/loosedtd.html">transitional DTD</a>: +</p> + +<pre><!ELEMENT FORM - - (%flow;)* -(FORM) -- interactive form --> +<!ATTLIST FORM + %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- + action %URI; #REQUIRED -- server-side form handler -- + method (GET|POST) GET -- HTTP method used to submit the form-- + enctype %ContentType; "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" + accept %ContentTypes; #IMPLIED -- list of MIME types for file upload -- + name CDATA #IMPLIED -- name of form for scripting -- + onsubmit %Script; #IMPLIED -- the form was submitted -- + onreset %Script; #IMPLIED -- the form was reset -- + target %FrameTarget; #IMPLIED -- render in this frame -- + accept-charset %Charsets; #IMPLIED -- list of supported charsets -- + ></pre> + +<p> + Juicy! With just this, we can answer four of our five questions: +</p> + +<ol> + <li>What is the element's name? <strong>form</strong></li> + <li>What content set does this element belong to? <strong>Block</strong> + (this needs a little sleuthing, I find the easiest way is to search + the DTD for <code>FORM</code> and determine which set it is in.)</li> + <li>What are the allowed children of this element? <strong>One + or more flow elements, but no nested <code>form</code>s</strong></li> + <li>What attributes does the element allow that are general? <strong>Common</strong></li> + <li>What attributes does the element allow that are specific to this element? <strong>A whole bunch, see ATTLIST; + we're going to do the vital ones: <code>action</code>, <code>method</code> and <code>name</code></strong></li> +</ol> + +<p> + Time for some code: +</p> + +<pre>$config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault(); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionID', 'enduser-customize.html tutorial'); +$config->set('HTML.DefinitionRev', 1); +$config->set('Cache.DefinitionImpl', null); // remove this later! +$def = $config->getHTMLDefinition(true); +$def->addAttribute('a', 'target', new HTMLPurifier_AttrDef_Enum( + array('_blank','_self','_target','_top') +)); +<strong>$form = $def->addElement( + 'form', // name + 'Block', // content set + 'Flow', // allowed children + 'Common', // attribute collection + array( // attributes + 'action*' => 'URI', + 'method' => 'Enum#get|post', + 'name' => 'ID' + ) +); +$form->excludes = array('form' => true);</strong></pre> + +<p> + Each of the parameters corresponds to one of the questions we asked. + Notice that we added an asterisk to the end of the <code>action</code> + attribute to indicate that it is required. If someone specifies a + <code>form</code> without that attribute, the tag will be axed. + Also, the extra line at the end is a special extra declaration that + prevents forms from being nested within each other. +</p> + +<p> + And that's all there is to it!

What you are seeing here, however, is + not just an XML Schema or Document Type Definition: it is a fully + expressive method of specifying the definition of HTML that is + a portable superset of the capabilities of the two above-mentioned schema + languages.
