libxml behavior changed with 2.14.0. This came up during Php 8.6 testing, and it was fixed by disabling the tests for 2.14.00 and up. As expected, it now affects earlier Php releases as well. Keeping the tests disabled would still work, but I have now identified some equivalent tests which will work both pre- and post- 2.14.0.
Reader/Html is now covered except for 1 statement.
There is some coverage of RichText when you know in advance that the
html will expand into a single cell.
It is a tougher nut, one that I have not yet cracked,
to try to handle rich text while converting unkown html to multiple cells.
The original author left this as a TODO, and so for now must I.
It made sense to restructure some of the code. There are some changes.
- Issue #1532 is fixed (links are now saved when using rowspan).
- Colors can now be specified as html color name. To accomplish this,
Helper/Html function colourNameLookup was changed from protected
to public, and changed to static.
- Superfluous empty lines were eliminated in a number of places, e.g.
<ul><li>A</li><li>B</li><li>C</li></ul>
had formerly caused a wrapped cell to be created with 2 empty lines
followed by A, B, and C on separate lines; it will now just have the
3 A/B/C lines, which seems like a more sensible interpretation.
- Img alt tag, which had been cast to float, is now used as a string.
Private member "encoding" is not used. Functions getEncoding and setEncoding
have therefore been marked deprecated. In fact, I was unable to get
SecurityScanner to pass *any* html which is not UTF-8. There are
possibly ways of getting around this (in Reader/Html - I have no
intention of messing with Security Scanner), as can be seen in my
companion pull request for Excel2003 Xml Reader. Doing this would be
easier for ASCII-compatible character sets (like ISO-8859-1),
than for non-compatible charsets (like UTF-16). I am not
convinced that the effort is worth it, but am willing to investigate
further.
I added a number of tests, creating an Html directory, and moving
HtmlTest to that directory.
