Hi,
The APT and Confluence parsers behave differently when parsing lists.
The APT parser generates paragraph()/paragraph_() events for each
list item whereas the Confluence parser doesn't.
So my questions are:
1) Who's right? This is very important since a Sink will output
different results if the parsers behave differently
The APT parser came first and is the canonical parser and it came
from the Pixware folks. I would use it as your rule of thumb.
2) How do we ensure parsers are correct in the events they send?
I would say parsing a document to an in memory model of a Sink and
then validate that.
For 2), we should probably have an abstract test case similar to
what is done in AbstractSinkTest for Sinks.
For 1) I've checked and it seems TWiki also doens't output paragraph
() events for list items.
So is the AptParser wrong?
No, I don't think so. The confluence and twiki were done together,
but the APT parser came first and was originally written by the first
author of the framework. So I would say the APT parser is right.
Thanks
