Bernie Reiter f4fa4dd1ba HTML-API: Introduce minimal HTML Processor.
This patch introduces the //first// of //many// iterations on the evolution of the HTML API, the HTML Processor, which is built in order to understand HTML structure including nesting, misnesting, and complicated semantic rules.

In the first iteration, the HTML Processor is arbitrarily limited to a minimal subset of functionality so that we can review it, ship it, test it, and collect feedback before moving forward. This means that this patch is more or less an extension to the Tag Processor query language, providing the ability not only to scan for a tag of a given name, but also to find an HTML element in a specific nesting path.

The HTML Processor also aborts any time it encounters:
 - a tag that isn't a `P`, `DIV`, `FIGURE`, `FIGCAPTION`, `IMG`, `STRONG`, `B`, `EM`, `I`, `A`, `BIG`, `CODE`, `FONT`, `SMALL`, `STRIKE`, `TT`, or `U` tag. this limit exists because many HTML elements require specific rules and we are trying to limit the number of rules introduced at once. this work is targeted at existing work in places like the image block.
 - certain misnesting constructs that evoke complicated resolution inside the HTML spec. where possible and where simple to do reliably, certain parse errors are handled. in most cases the HTML Processor aborts.

The structure of the HTML Processor is established in this patch. Further spec-compliance comes through filling out //more of the same// kind and nature of code as is found in this patch. Certain critical HTML algorithms are partially supported, and where support requires more than is present, the HTML Processor acknowledges this and refuses to operate.

In this patch are explorations for how to verify that new HTML support is fully added (instead of allowing for partial updates that leave some code paths non-compliant). Performance is hard to measure since support is so limited at the current time, but it should generally follow the performance of the Tag Processor somewhat close as the overhead is minimized as much as practical.

Props dmsnell, zieladam, costdev.
Fixes #58517.

WordPress

Welcome to the WordPress development repository! Please check out the contributor handbook for information about how to open bug reports, contribute patches, test changes, write documentation, or get involved in any way you can.

Getting Started

Using GitHub Codespaces

To get started, create a codespace for this repository by clicking this 👇

Open in GitHub Codespaces

A codespace will open in a web-based version of Visual Studio Code. The dev container is fully configured with softwares needed for this project.

Note: Dev containers is an open spec which is supported by GitHub Codespaces and other tools.

In some browsers the keyboard shortcut for opening the command palette (Ctrl/Command + Shift + P) may collide with a browser shortcut. The command palette can be opened via the F1 key or via the cog icon in the bottom left of the editor.

When opening your codespace, be sure to wait for the postCreateCommand to finish running to ensure your WordPress install is successfully set up. This can take a few minutes.

Local development

WordPress is a PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript based project, and uses Node for its JavaScript dependencies. A local development environment is available to quickly get up and running.

You will need a basic understanding of how to use the command line on your computer. This will allow you to set up the local development environment, to start it and stop it when necessary, and to run the tests.

You will need Node and npm installed on your computer. Node is a JavaScript runtime used for developer tooling, and npm is the package manager included with Node. If you have a package manager installed for your operating system, setup can be as straightforward as:

  • macOS: brew install node
  • Windows: choco install nodejs
  • Ubuntu: apt install nodejs npm

If you are not using a package manager, see the Node.js download page for installers and binaries.

Note: WordPress currently only supports Node.js 14.x and npm 6.x.

You will also need Docker installed and running on your computer. Docker is the virtualization software that powers the local development environment. Docker can be installed just like any other regular application.

Development Environment Commands

Ensure Docker is running before using these commands.

To start the development environment for the first time

Clone the current repository using git clone https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop.git. Then in your terminal move to the repository folder cd wordpress-develop and run the following commands:

npm install
npm run build:dev
npm run env:start
npm run env:install

Your WordPress site will be accessible at http://localhost:8889. You can see or change configurations in the .env file located at the root of the project directory.

To watch for changes

If you're making changes to WordPress core files, you should start the file watcher in order to build or copy the files as necessary:

npm run dev

To stop the watcher, press ctrl+c.

To run a WP-CLI command

npm run env:cli -- <command>

WP-CLI has many useful commands you can use to work on your WordPress site. Where the documentation mentions running wp, run npm run env:cli -- instead. For example:

npm run env:cli -- help

To run the tests

These commands run the PHP and end-to-end test suites, respectively:

npm run test:php
npm run test:e2e

To restart the development environment

You may want to restart the environment if you've made changes to the configuration in the docker-compose.yml or .env files. Restart the environment with:

npm run env:restart

To stop the development environment

You can stop the environment when you're not using it to preserve your computer's power and resources:

npm run env:stop

To start the development environment again

Starting the environment again is a single command:

npm run env:start

Credentials

These are the default environment credentials:

  • Database Name: wordpress_develop
  • Username: root
  • Password: password

To login to the site, navigate to http://localhost:8889/wp-admin.

  • Username: admin
  • Password: password

Note: With Codespaces, open the portforwarded URL from the ports tab in the terminal, and append /wp-admin to login to the site.

To generate a new password (recommended):

  1. Go to the Dashboard
  2. Click the Users menu on the left
  3. Click the Edit link below the admin user
  4. Scroll down and click 'Generate password'. Either use this password (recommended) or change it, then click 'Update User'. If you use the generated password be sure to save it somewhere (password manager, etc).
