START "DOM, CSS and HTML Support"

P {
<p>
	Ultimately, Tkhtml3 aims to support those aspects of HTML 4.01 and CSS
	2.1 that apply to the parsing and visual rendering of documents. But,
	as you may have surmised, that is a work in progress. This document
	describes the current situation in terms of the CSS properties, CSS
	selectors, HTML attributes and HTML tags supported.
</p><p>
	This document currently tracks the CVS version against the CSS 
	2.1, HTML 4.01 (todo) and DOM (todo) specifications.
</p>
}

SECTION "CSS Property Support"

P {
<p>
	The tables in this section compare CSS property support in Tkhtml3 
	with the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/">CSS level 2.1</a>
	specification. Of course, there may be bugs in the support of
	any or all of the properties listed as supported below. If you find a
        bug, <i>please report it</i>!

SECTION {HTML Parsing Support}

P {
  <p>This section describes the some of the special processing that
     Tkhtml does to support HTML.

  <p style="text-align:center"><b>Implicit Elements</b>

  <p>In any Html document, the &lt;html&gt;, &lt;head&gt; and
     &lt;body&gt; elements are always present, even if not explicity
     opened or closed in the html text.

  <p style="text-align:center"><b>Implicit Closing Tags</b>

  <p>This sub-section describes the cases where the Html parser infers
     the presence of implicit closing tags and inserts them before 
     generating the document tree. Tkhtml can detect implicit closing 
     tags in five cases:

  <dl>
     <dt>Empty elements:
     <dd>The &lt;br&gt;, &lt;area&gt;, &lt;link&gt;, &lt;img&gt;, 
         &lt;param&gt;, &lt;hr&gt;, &lt;base&gt;, &lt;meta&gt; and 
         &lt;input&gt; elements are always empty, they cannot contain 
         any other elements.

     <dt>Inline content only elements:
     <dd>The &lt;p&gt; and &lt;dt&gt; elements may only contain inline 
         content. They are implicitly closed by any element that does not
         generate inline content (according to html).

     <dt>Flow content only elements:
     <dd>The &lt;th&gt;, &lt;td&gt;, &lt;p&gt; and &lt;dt&gt; elements may 
         only contain flow content. They are implicitly closed by any 
         element that does not generate flow content (according to html).

     <dt>Table-cell content only elements:
     <dd>The &lt;tr&gt; element may only contain &lt;th&gt; or &lt;td&gt; 
         elements.

     <dt>Text content only elements:
     <dd>The &lt;option&gt; element may only contain text, not markup tags.
  </dl>


  <p style="text-align:center"><b>Table Support</b>

  <p>Table support is a curious mix of support for CSS and Html at the 
     moment. The CSS display types 'table', 'table-row' and 'table-cell' are 
     recognized for laying out document sub-trees as tables. The default 
     stylesheet assigns these values to the display properties of Html 
     &lt;table&gt;, &lt;tr&gt;, &lt;td&gt; and &lt;th&gt; elements.

  <p>Tkhtml checks for and respects the "rowspan" and "cellspan" attributes 
     on any element with the display property set to 'table-cell'. There is 
     no way to asign a row or column span via CSS (at least not with Tkhtml).

  <p>There is no support for the &lt;caption&gt;, &lt;thead&gt;, 
     &lt;tfoot&gt;, &lt;tbody&gt;, &lt;colgroup&gt; and &lt;col&gt; tags,
     these are ignored by the parser.

  <p>The Tkhtml layout engine simply ignores any children of an element with 
     display property 'table' that do not have their display property set 
     to 'table-row'. Children of 'table-row' elements that are not of type
     'table-cell' are similarly ignored. This is incorrect, the CSS2 
     specification requires anonymous boxes to be inserted where such 
     elements are missing. The Tkhtml html parser compensates for this by 
     transforming each sub-tree rooted at a &lt;table&gt; element 
     according to the following rules:

  <ol>
    <li>Children of &lt;table&gt; elements other than &lt;tr&gt;,  
        &lt;td&gt; and &lt;th&gt; are moved in the tree to become left-hand 
        siblings of the &lt;table&gt; element.

    <li>Should there exist one or more &lt;td&gt; or &lt;th&gt; children of
        the &lt;table&gt; element, then one or more &lt;tr&gt; elements is
        inserted into the tree. Each new &lt;tr&gt; element is a child of
        the &lt;table&gt; element.

    <li>Children of &lt;tr&gt; elements that are themselves children 
        of &lt;table&gt; elements other than &lt;td&gt; and &lt;th&gt; are
        also moved in the tree to become left-hand siblings of the 
        &lt;table&gt; element.
  </ol>
 
  <p>Logically, steps are performed in the order above. For example, 
     parsing the following Html fragment:

  <pre class=code>
&lt;table&gt;
  &lt;div&gt;Text A&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt; &lt;div&gt;Text B&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;td&gt; Text C
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt; Text D
  &lt;td&gt; Text E
&lt;/table&gt;
  </pre>
  
  <p>Produces the tree that one would expect from:

  <pre class=code>
&lt;div&gt;Text A&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Text B&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt; 
    &lt;td&gt; Text C
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt; 
    &lt;td&gt; Text D
    &lt;td&gt; Text E
  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
  </pre>
