New HTML parser integrated into NetSurf

[Tennant Stuart]

Dear Mr.Bell,

you say that Hubbub is still under active development and has not had an
official release, but the previous page on the website says that Netsurf
now uses Hubbub as of 11th August 2008. Should this say the Netsurf that
developers are working on now uses Hubbub, or was the parser released?

New HTML parser integrated into NetSurf

[John-Mark Bell]

Hi,

This morning, we merged into NetSurf the HTML parser that Andrew Sidwell 
has been working on as his Google Summer of Code project. The new parser 
is significantly more robust than the old one, particularly in the face of 
invalid input (which is in excess of 90% of the pages on the web). This 
change resolves more than 40 bug reports, which we will be closing in 
the near future.



John.

In a dim and distant universe [EMAIL PROTECTED],
   Barry E Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] enlightened us thusly:

 It doesn't seem to take any notice of the background color in a Table.
 see:-

Something has broken WGT to table colouring, as the latest build breaks the
listing at http://ccdb.cropcircleresearch.com/?d=xy=2008c=ukm=Aug

The only dark green background should be the column headings at the top.
All the data rows should alternate between light green and white graph
paper. The rows that should be white (same colour as the page background)
are coming out in dark green (same colour as the top row titles).

Thanks for all the hard work by the team, it also seems to have fixed
the UTF8 bad character bug, which when it found a bad UTF8 character it
displayed gooblygook.

Well done.

Well done and thank you to all the NetSurf team.

Another useful site working!

It doesn't seem to take any notice of the background color in a Table.

see:-

http://www.nowirul.org.uk/halbro/draw0809/test.htm
Should be a dark green border around each cell.


Please report this on the bug tracker, attaching the above page as a 
testcase.


Thanks,


John.

I can confirm that, the PocketGPSWorld newsletter would always be 
truncated half way down, as the HTML has charset=UTF-8, but '£' is
used illegally instead of characters A0 A3.

I'll be waiting for the table bug to be fixed before adopting the
new parser though.
