25 ;; This uses xmltok.el to do XML parsing. The fundamental problem is
26 ;; how to handle changes. We don't want to maintain a complete parse
27 ;; tree. We also don't want to reparse from the start of the document
28 ;; on every keystroke. However, it is not possible in general to
29 ;; parse an XML document correctly starting at a random point in the
30 ;; middle. The main problems are comments, CDATA sections and
31 ;; processing instructions: these can all contain things that are
32 ;; indistinguishable from elements. Literals in the prolog are also a
33 ;; problem. Attribute value literals are not a problem because
34 ;; attribute value literals cannot contain less-than signs.
36 ;; Our strategy is to keep track of just the problematic things.
37 ;; Specifically, we keep track of all comments, CDATA sections and
38 ;; processing instructions in the instance. We do this by marking all
39 ;; except the first character of these with a non-nil nxml-inside text
40 ;; property. The value of the nxml-inside property is comment,
41 ;; cdata-section or processing-instruction. The first character does
42 ;; not have the nxml-inside property so we can find the beginning of
43 ;; the construct by looking for a change in a text property value
44 ;; (Emacs provides primitives for this). We use text properties
45 ;; rather than overlays, since the implementation of overlays doesn't
46 ;; look like it scales to large numbers of overlays in a buffer.
48 ;; We don't in fact track all these constructs, but only track them in
49 ;; some initial part of the instance. The variable `nxml-scan-end'
50 ;; contains the limit of where we have scanned up to for them.
52 ;; Thus to parse some random point in the file we first ensure that we
53 ;; have scanned up to that point. Then we search backwards for a
54 ;; <. Then we check whether the < has an nxml-inside property. If it
55 ;; does we go backwards to first character that does not have an
56 ;; nxml-inside property (this character must be a <). Then we start
57 ;; parsing forward from the < we have found.
59 ;; The prolog has to be parsed specially, so we also keep track of the
60 ;; end of the prolog in `nxml-prolog-end'. The prolog is reparsed on
61 ;; every change to the prolog. This won't work well if people try to
62 ;; edit huge internal subsets. Hopefully that will be rare.
64 ;; We keep track of the changes by adding to the buffer's
65 ;; after-change-functions hook. Scanning is also done as a
66 ;; prerequisite to fontification by adding to fontification-functions
67 ;; (in the same way as jit-lock). This means that scanning for these
68 ;; constructs had better be quick. Fortunately it is. Firstly, the
69 ;; typical proportion of comments, CDATA sections and processing
70 ;; instructions is small relative to other things. Secondly, to scan
71 ;; we just search for the regexp <[!?].
73 ;; One problem is unclosed comments, processing instructions and CDATA
74 ;; sections. Suppose, for example, we encounter a <!-- but there's no
75 ;; matching -->. This is not an unexpected situation if the user is
76 ;; creating a comment. It is not helpful to treat the whole of the
77 ;; file starting from the <!-- onwards as a single unclosed comment
78 ;; token. Instead we treat just the <!-- as a piece of not well-formed
79 ;; markup and continue. The problem is that if at some later stage a
80 ;; --> gets added to the buffer after the unclosed <!--, we will need
81 ;; to reparse the buffer starting from the <!--. We need to keep
82 ;; track of these reparse dependencies; they are called dependent
83 ;; regions in the code.
