TODO List
= KEY ====================
# Flagship
- Regular
? At-risk
==========================
1.5 release
# Implement all non-essential attribute transforms, configurable
# URI validation routines tighter (see docs/dev-code-quality.html) (COMPLEX)
# Advanced URI filtering schemes (see docs/proposal-new-directives.txt)
# Error logging for filtering/cleanup procedures
- Requires I18N facilities to be created first (COMPLEX)
? Configuration profiles: sets of directives that get set with one func call
- XSS-attempt detection
1.6 release
# Add pre-packaged "levels" of cleaning (custom behavior already done)
- More fine-grained control over escaping behavior
- Silently drop content inbetween SCRIPT tags (can be generalized to allow
specification of elements that, when detected as foreign, trigger removal
of children, although unbalanced tags could wreck havoc (or at least
delete the rest of the document)).
- Allow specifying global attributes on a tag-by-tag basis in
%HTML.AllowAttributes
? More user-friendly warnings when %HTML.Allow* attempts to specify a
tag or attribute that is not supported
- Parse TinyMCE whitelist into our %HTML.Allow* whitelists
1.7 release
# Additional support for poorly written HTML
- Microsoft Word HTML cleaning (i.e. MsoNormal, but research essential!)
- Friendly strict handling of
(block ->
)
- Remove redundant tags, ex. Underlined. Implementation notes:
1. Analyzing which tags to remove duplicants
2. Ensure attributes are merged into the parent tag
3. Extend the tag exclusion system to specify whether or not the
contents should be dropped or not (currently, there's code that could do
something like this if it didn't drop the inner text too.)
- Remove tags that don't do anything (no attributes)
- Remove empty inline tags
- Append something to duplicate IDs so they're still usable (impl. note: the
dupe detector would also need to detect the suffix as well)
2.0 release
# Legit token based CSS parsing (will require revamping almost every
AttrDef class)
# Formatters for plaintext (COMPLEX)
- Auto-paragraphing (be sure to leverage fact that we know when things
shouldn't be paragraphed, such as lists and tables).
- Linkify URLs
- Smileys
- Linkification for HTML Purifier docs: notably configuration and classes
3.0 release
- Extended HTML capabilities based on namespacing and tag transforms (COMPLEX)
- Hooks for adding custom processors to custom namespaced tags and
attributes, offer default implementation
- Lots of documentation and samples
- Allow tags to be "armored", an internal flag that protects them
from validation and passes them out unharmed
- XHTML 1.1 support
- Fixes for Firefox's inability to handle COL alignment props (Bug 915)
- Automatically add non-breaking spaces to empty table cells when
empty-cells:show is applied to have compatibility with Internet Explorer
- Convert RTL/LTR override characters to tags, or vice versa on demand.
Also, enable disabling of directionality
Ongoing
- Lots of profiling, make it faster!
- Plugins for major CMSes (COMPLEX)
- WordPress
- eFiction
- more! (look for ones that use WYSIWYGs)
Unknown release (on a scratch-an-itch basis)
- Upgrade SimpleTest testing code to newest versions
- Have 'lang' attribute be checked against official lists
? Semi-lossy dumb alternate character encoding transformations, achieved by
encoding all characters that have string entity equivalents
Requested
? Native content compression, whitespace stripping (don't rely on Tidy, make
sure we don't remove from or related tags)
Wontfix
- Non-lossy smart alternate character encoding transformations (unless
patch provided)
- Pretty-printing HTML, users can use Tidy on the output on entire page
