[PATCH] ox-html.el: Fix display of language indicators for source blocks

[PATCH] ox-html.el: Fix display of language indicators for source blocks

[N. Raghavendra]

CSS rules like

pre.src-awk:before { content: 'Awk'; }

in `org-html-style-default' don't work in the current Org version,
because the class attribute has been moved from the `pre' element to a
`code' child of that element.  As a result, the name of the language
isn't dipslayed when hovering over a source block in the HTML file.  I
am currently doing

(setq org-html-keep-old-src t)

but I think it's a kludge.

A better way out would be to move back the `class' attribute from the
`code' element to its `pre' parent in `org-src-html-block', or to change
the CSS selectors in `org-html-style-default'.  This patch does the
former.  (As for the latter, AFAIK there is no CSS selector which picks
precisely those `pre' elements that have `code' children with attributes
`src' and `src-LANG'.)

Cheers,
Raghu.

It appears that this change was introduced in commit
d5bbf365533ba45d72ebed8121c7612c860ea944.  It also introduced the
insertion of the attribute "data-editor-type" in the HTML export, when

  1. `org-html-klipsify-src' is true, and

  2. an HTML source block is being exported.

Now, "data-editor-type" is not a valid attribute with respect to the
XHTML1 Strict DTD (or any other W3C X/HTML DTD).  Therefore, when 1 and
2 are true, this attribute renders the exported HTML files invalid with
respect to the DTDs in `org-html-doctype-alist'.  I think this would
count as a drawback to those who care about HTML validation, especially
since ox-html indicates its concern for validation through
`org-html-validation-link', etc.

I don't know what is the best way to deal with this problem.  One
possibility is to put a warning in the documentation of
`org-html-klipsify-src' that setting it to true would lead to invalid
HTML exports when the Org file contains an HTML source block.

Cheers,
Raghu.

Continuing the soliloquy, I was wondering if any of the maintainers have
seen this patch, and the bug that it addresses.  If they have, I'd
appreciate some indicator of what is being done about it.

That is above my pay-grade. I'm Cc'ing Matt Price, who introduced klipse
feature, for some insight.

You posted the patch only two days ago. I hope you understand a "bump"
may be a bit early at this point.

Anyway, thank you for the patch. I hope this can be sorted out quickly.

Thanks for the reply, and for the information.  I'll wait for Matt
Price's response.

Certainly.  It was less a bump than an expression of concern that my
messages may have been lost in the general mileu of the mailing list.

Hi,

You raise two important-seeming points about my patch:

1) a feature (display of language on hover) is removed by the patch
2) the patch also breaks XHTML validation

That patch was submitted to add support for live code examples in exported
HTML (using the klipse.js  library).  As it stands right now, both changes
(addition of `data-editor-type` attribute and moving the language name
class from `pre` to `code`) are necessary to make klipse work (cf.
https://github.com/viebel/klipse).  I'd rather not lose that functionality
completely. Can you think of a way to solve both the problems without
losing klipse funcitonality? If not, would you be satisfied with an
improved docstring and maybe turning klipse off by default?

I tried with some examples, and the editing facility of klipse seems to
work even if you put the class attributes in the pre element instead of
in its code child.  Let me check it again and provide an MWE, but it'll
take a few days, because I am busy at work this week.  If what I said is
indeed correct, I have some suggestions on how to deal with the problem.

Cheers,
Raghu.

I am sorry for the inexcusable delay.

1. After rereading your message, I felt that one way out is restore the
   treatment of source code blocks, when klipse is not used, to what it
   was before you made commit d5bbf36553.  This means that the blocks
   are exported as content of pre elements, when klipse is not used.

2. When klipse is used, your code kicks in, and puts the source code
   blocks of the klipse languages in code children, with appropriate
   attributes, of pre elements.  Blocks of non-klipse languages are
   still put directly into pre elements as before, with the appropriate
   class attribute.

3. It remains to decide when klipse is being used.  It is used when
   `org-html-klipsify-src' has a non-nil value.

4. Lastly, we are not changing the export of code blocks when klipse is
   not being used.  Therefore, `org-html-keep-old-src' is not needed.

Attached is a patch that implements these changes.

I have also put a test file, and two exported HTML files, with and
without klipse, at http://www.retrotexts.net/tmp/ox-html-patch/
The Makefile there should be self-explanatory.  Please see if
klipse.html agrees with what you want, modulo syntax colouring (it was
produced in batch mode).  The file noklipse.html validates (it can be
checked at the W3C validator), and has language indicators.

I hope this takes care of our different requirements.

Cheers,
Raghu.
