How do I prevent node rearrangement? #177
-
|
So I'm using a SaaS app that uses a proprietary template language, one of the problems is I can't reuse fragments like say a breadcrumb template, like you could in other templating languages. So I'm using Pug to transpile but even it's pretty option doesn't clean up the markup enough. So I use I'm using rehype to clean up some white space in my html templates the problem is, rehype is rearranging tags it thinks are invalid markup and I can't figure out how to stop it. I tried enabling error reporting and the reporter plugin doesn't come back with anything. How do I get it to stop moving my nodes around? |

Can you please provide some more info? Share the actual input you have. The actual output you get. The expected output you want. The code you use to get there. The dependencies you have? |

Those are part of the template language, its a mix of tags and keywords, almost like Thymeleaf |

This project only understands HTML. It does not understand varying template languages. |

If it doesn't understand a tag, why would it move the tags around? |

That’s how html works. It does understand those tags. You can try it in a browser. It’s a very strong specification, which allows all kinds of things. One such things is that many tags are optional! The head opening for example. If you start with a div (or any unknown element, that cannot go in head, such as these), it’ll close the head and open the body for you |

OK, so it is intended behavior, I'll dig around the source and see if I can write my own patch. |

@wooorm Looks like it is a thing with parse5, it looks like I have to switch using htmlparser2 and made a parser visitor similar to Antlr.... I think this is the very definition of yak shaving |

I don’t understand? The tools here follow specs. What is Antlr? If you want to support your own custom language, you’re free to do so, but yeah, you’ll have a terrible time to create all the tools that deal with your language. Go with specifications. 🤷♂️ Lots of tools understand HTML. Use the things that exist. |
