STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
HTML 5.2 specification says https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/syntax.html#elements-attributes "Attribute names must consist of one or more characters other than the space characters, U+0000 NULL, U+0022 QUOTATION MARK ("), U+0027 APOSTROPHE ('), U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN (>), U+002F SOLIDUS (/), and U+003D EQUALS SIGN (=) characters, the control characters, and any characters that are not defined by Unicode." It is confirmed in the "12.2 Parsing HTML documents" section of the "HTML Living Standard": """ 12.2.5.33 Attribute name state Consume the next input character: U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION (tab) U+000A LINE FEED (LF) U+000C FORM FEED (FF) U+0020 SPACE U+002F SOLIDUS (/) U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN (>) EOF Reconsume in the after attribute name state. U+003D EQUALS SIGN (=) Switch to the before attribute value state. ASCII upper alpha Append the lowercase version of the current input character (add 0x0020 to the character's code point) to the current attribute's name. U+0000 NULL This is an unexpected-null-character parse error. Append a U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER character to the current attribute's name. U+0022 QUOTATION MARK (") U+0027 APOSTROPHE (') U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN (<) This is an unexpected-character-in-attribute-name parse error. Treat it as per the "anything else" entry below. Anything else Append the current input character to the current attribute's name. """ https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#attribute-name-state I understand that "," *is* a legit character in a HTML attribute name. So "a," and ",a" *are* valid HTML attribute names. Do I understand correctly? ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41748> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
