.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The mandoc HTML formatter is not a formal library.
|
|
However, as it is compiled into more than one program, in particular
|
|
.Xr mandoc 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr man.cgi 8 ,
|
|
and because it may be security-critical in some contexts,
|
|
some documentation is useful to help to use it correctly and
|
|
to prevent XSS vulnerabilities.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The formatter produces HTML output on the standard output.
|
|
Since proper escaping is usually required and best taken care of
|
|
at one central place, the language-specific formatters
|
|
.Po
|
|
.Pa *_html.c ,
|
|
see
|
|
.Sx FILES
|
|
.Pc
|
|
are not supposed to print directly to
|
|
.Dv stdout
|
|
using functions like
|
|
.Xr printf 3 ,
|
|
.Xr putc 3 ,
|
|
.Xr puts 3 ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr write 2 .
|
|
Instead, they are expected to use the output functions declared in
|
|
.Pa html.h
|
|
and implemented as part of the main HTML formatting engine in
|
|
.Pa html.c .
|
|
.Ss Data structures
|
|
These structures are declared in
|
|
.Pa html.h .
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Vt struct html
|
|
Internal state of the HTML formatter.
|
|
.It Vt struct tag
|
|
One entry for the LIFO stack of HTML elements.
|
|
Members are
|
|
.Fa "enum htmltag tag"
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa "struct tag *next" .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Private interface functions
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn print_gen_decls
|
|
prints the opening
|
|
.Ao Pf \&? Ic xml ? Ac
|
|
and
|
|
.Aq Pf \&! Ic DOCTYPE
|
|
declarations required for the current document type.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn print_gen_comment
|
|
prints the leading comments, usually containing a Copyright notice
|
|
and license, as an HTML comment.
|
|
It is intended to be called right after opening the
|
|
.Aq Ic HTML
|
|
element.
|
|
Pass the first
|
|
.Dv ROFFT_COMMENT
|
|
node in
|
|
.Fa n .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn print_gen_head
|
|
prints the opening
|
|
.Aq Ic META
|
|
and
|
|
.Aq Ic LINK
|
|
elements for the document
|
|
.Aq Ic HEAD ,
|
|
using the
|
|
.Fa style
|
|
member of
|
|
.Fa h
|
|
unless that is
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
It uses
|
|
.Fn print_otag
|
|
which takes care of properly encoding attributes,
|
|
which is relevant for the
|
|
.Fa style
|
|
link in particular.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn print_otag
|
|
prints the start tag of an HTML element with the name
|
|
.Fa tag ,
|
|
optionally including the attributes specified by
|
|
.Fa fmt .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa fmt
|
|
is the empty string, no attributes are written.
|
|
Each letter of
|
|
.Fa fmt
|
|
specifies one attribute to write.
|
|
Most attributes require one
|
|
.Va char *
|
|
argument which becomes the value of the attribute.
|
|
The arguments have to be given in the same order as the attribute letters.
|
|
If an argument is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the respective attribute is not written.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 1n -offset indent
|
|
.It Cm c
|
|
Print a
|
|
.Cm class
|
|
attribute.
|
|
This attribute letter can optionally be followed by the modifier letter
|
|
.Cm T .
|
|
In that case, a
|
|
.Cm title
|
|
attribute with the same value is also printed.
|
|
.It Cm h
|
|
Print a
|
|
.Cm href
|
|
attribute.
|
|
This attribute letter can optionally be followed by a modifier letter.
|
|
If followed by
|
|
.Cm R ,
|
|
it formats the link as a local one by prefixing a
|
|
.Sq #
|
|
character.
|
|
If followed by
|
|
.Cm I ,
|
|
it interpretes the argument as a header file name
|
|
and generates a link using the
|
|
.Xr mandoc 1
|
|
.Fl O Cm includes
|
|
option.
|
|
If followed by
|
|
.Cm M ,
|
|
it takes two arguments instead of one, a manual page name and
|
|
section, and formats them as a link to a manual page using the
|
|
.Xr mandoc 1
|
|
.Fl O Cm man
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Cm i
|
|
Print an
|
|
.Cm id
|
|
attribute.
|
|
.It Cm \&?
|
|
Print an arbitrary attribute.
|
|
This format letter requires two
|
|
.Vt char *
|
|
arguments, the attribute name and the value.
|
|
The name must not be
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.It Cm s
|
|
Print a
|
|
.Cm style
|
|
attribute.
|
|
If present, it must be the last format letter.
|
|
It requires two
|
|
.Va char *
|
|
arguments.
|
|
The first is the name of the style property, the second its value.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn print_otag
|
|
uses the private function
|
|
.Fn print_encode
|
|
to take care of HTML encoding.
|
|
If required by the element type, it remembers in
|
|
.Fa h
|
|
that the element is open.
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn print_tagq
|
|
is used to close out all open elements up to and including
|
|
.Fa until ;
|
|
.Fn print_stagq
|
|
is a variant to close out all open elements up to but excluding
|
|
.Fa suntil .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn print_text
|
|
prints HTML element content.
|
|
It uses the private function
|
|
.Fn print_encode
|
|
to take care of HTML encoding.
|
|
If the document has requested a non-standard font, for example using a
|
|
.Xr roff 7
|
|
.Ic \ef
|
|
font escape sequence,
|
|
.Fn print_text
|
|
wraps
|
|
.Fa word
|
|
in an HTML font selection element using the
|
|
.Fn print_otag
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn print_tagq
|
|
functions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn html_make_id
|
|
takes a node containing one or more text children
|
|
and returns a newly allocated string containing the concatenation
|
|
of the child strings, with blanks replaced by underscores.
|
|
If the node
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
contains any non-text child node,
|
|
.Fn html_make_id
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
instead.
|
|
The caller is responsible for freeing the returned string.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn html_strlen
|
|
counts the number of characters in
|
|
.Fa cp .
|
|
It is used as a crude estimate of the width needed to display a string.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The functions
|
|
.Fn print_eqn ,
|
|
.Fn print_tbl ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn print_tblclose

are not yet documented.
