When closing certain HTML elements the lexer should also close whatever
parent elements remain. For example, consider the following HTML:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Foo
<th>Bar
<tbody>
...
</tbody>
</table>
Here the "<tbody>" element shouldn't only close the "<th>Bar" element
but also the parent "<tr>" and "<thead>" elements. This ensures we'd end
up with the following HTML:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Foo</th>
<th>Bar</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
...
</tbody>
</table>
Instead of garbage along the lines of this:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Foo</th>
<th>Bar</th>
<tbody>
...
</tbody>
</table></tr></thead>
Fixes#99 (hopefully for good this time)
This ensures that HTML such as this:
<li>foo
<li>bar
is parsed as this:
<li>foo</li>
<li>bar</li>
and not as this:
<li>
foo
<li>bar</li>
</li>

This makes it easier to automatically insert preceding tokens when
starting a new element as we now have access to the name. Previously
on_element_start would be invoked first which doesn't receive an
argument.
The XML/HTML lexer is now capable of processing most invalid XML/HTML
(that I can think of at least). This is achieved by inserting missing
closing tags (where needed) and/or ignoring excessive closing tags. For
example, HTML such as this:
<a></a></p>
Results in the following tokens:
[:T_ELEM_START, nil, 1]
[:T_ELEM_NAME, 'a', 1]
[:T_ELEM_CLOSE, nil, 1]
In turn this HTML:
<a>
Results in these tokens:
[:T_ELEM_START, nil, 1]
[:T_ELEM_NAME, 'a', 1]
[:T_ELEM_CLOSE, nil, 1]

Previously a single Ragel machine was used for processing HTML
script and style tags. This had the unfortunate side-effect that the
following was not parsed correctly (while being valid HTML):
<script>
var foo = "</style>";
</script>
The same applied to style tags:
<style>
/* </script> */
</style>
By using separate machines we can work around the above issue. The
downside is that this can produce multiple T_TEXT nodes, which have to
be stitched back together in the parser.
This adds lexing support for HTML/XML such as:
<foo bar="""></foo>
While technically invalid, some websites (e.g. yahoo.com) contain HTML
just like this.
The lexer handles this as following:
1. When we're in the "element_head" machine, do business as usual until
we bump into a "=".
2. Call (using Ragel's "fcall") the machine to use for processing the
attribute value (if any).
3. In this machine quoted strings are processed. The moment a string has
been processed the lexer jumps right back in to the "element_head"
machine. This ensures that any stray quotes are ignored instead of
being processed as extra attribute values (eventually leading to
parsing errors due to unbalanced quotes).
Similar to comments (ea8b4aa92f) and CDATA
tags (8acc7fc743) processing instructions
are now lexed in separate chunks _with_ proper support for streaming
input.

Instead of using a single token (T_CDATA) for a CDATA tag the lexer now
uses 3 tokens:
1. T_CDATA_START
2. T_CDATA_BODY
3. T_CDATA_END
The T_CDATA_BODY token can occur multiple times and is turned into a
single value in the XML parser. This is similar to the way strings are
lexed.
By changing the way CDATA tags are lexed Oga can now lex CDATA tags
containing newlines when using an IO as input. For example, this would
previously fail:
Oga.parse_xml(StringIO.new("<![CDATA[\nfoo]]>"))
Because IO input reads input per line the input for the lexer would be
as following:
"<![CDATA[\n"
"foo]]>"

This cache is flushed whenever Element#register_namespace is called.
When this cache is flushed it's also recursively flushed for all child
elements. This makes calls to Element#register_namespace a bit more
expensive but in turn calls to Element#available_namespaces will be a
lot faster.
The results of these methods is now cached until a Node is moved into
another NodeSet. This reduces the time spent in the
xpath/evaluator/big_xml_average_bench.rb benchmark from roughly 10
seconds to roughly 5 seconds per iteration.
In HTML the text of a script/style tag should be left untouched, no
entities must be converted. Doing so would break Javascript such as the
following:
foo&&bar;
Such code is often the result of minifiers doing their dirty business.
This was broken by introducing the process of lazy decoding of XML/HTML
entities. The new setup works similar to how XML::Text#text decodes any
entities that may be present.
Fixes#91
When querying an XML document that explicitly defines the default XML
namespace the XPath evaluator now correctly matches all nodes within
that namespace if no namespace prefix is given in the query. Previously
this would always return an empty set.
Removing this makes the process of parsing larger XML documents a bit faster.
The downside is that NodeSet#initialize will no longer filter out duplicate
nodes, though this is not something Oga itself relies upon.
Methods such as NodeSet#push still do ignore elements already present.
This was utterly broken, mainly due to me overlooking it. There are now 2 new
callbacks to handle this properly:
* on_attribute: to handle a single attribute/value pair
* on_attributes: to handle a collection of attributes (as returned by
on_attribute)
By default on_attribut returns a Hash, on_attributes in turn merges all
attribute hashes into a single one. This ensures that on_element _actually_
receives the attributes as a Hash, instead of an Array with random
nil/XML::Attribute values.
Instead of decoding entities in the lexer we'll do this whenever XML::Text#text
is called. This removes the overhead from the parsing phase and ensures the
process is only triggered when actually needed. Note that calling #to_xml and/or
the #inspect methods on a Text (or parent) instance will also trigger the entity
conversion process.
The new entity decoding API supports both regular entities (e.g. &) as well
as codepoint based entities (both regular and hexadecimal codepoints).
To allow safe read-only access to Text instances from multiple threads a mutex
is used. This mutex ensures that only 1 thread can trigger the conversion
process.
