The objective of the package is to provide a fast and essential HTML check (esp.
|
|
for CGI scripts where response time is important) to prevent a piece of user
|
|
input HTML code from messing up the rest of a file, i.e., to minimize and
|
|
localize any possible damage created by including a piece of user input HTML
|
|
text in a dynamic document.
|
|
|
|
HTMLQuickCheck checks for unmatched < and >, unmatched tags and improper
|
|
nesting, which could ruin the rest of the document. Attributes and elements
|
|
with optional end tags are not checked, as they should not cause disasters with
|
|
any decent browsers (they should ignore any unrecognized tags and attributes
|
|
according to the standard). A piece of HTML that passes HTMLQuickCheck may not
|
|
necessarily be valid HTML, but it would be very unlikely to screw others but
|
|
itself. A valid piece of HTML that doesn't pass the HTMLQuickCheck is however
|
|
very likely to screw many browsers(which are obviously broken in terms of strict
|
|
conformance).
|
|
|
|
HTMLQuickCheck currently supports HTML 1.0, 2.x (draft), 3.0 (draft) and
|
|
netscape extensions (1.1).
