[9fans] Mothra and <style> tags

[9fans] Mothra and <style> tags

[Gregory Pavelcak]

Personally, I think mothra is a nice browser, and I've made some
changes within my limited (almost nil) coding ability to colors,
vertical spacing, and margins to suit my personal tastes, but I've hit
a wall with <style> tags. The problem is that mothra prints the
information within <style></style> when it renders the page, making
for unnecessary clutter. I would like to convince mothra to just
ignore the stuff. Is there an easy way to do this?

I have already tried adding the tag to html.h and html.syntax.c, then,
in rdhtml.c I added `Tag_style' to the list with `Tag_comment', `Tag_html',
etc. but that didn't have any effect. I can't imagine that I'm too far
off track here though. Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks.

What I would do is add a case Tag_style to the first switch(g.tag)
statement in plrdhtml(), which would just call pl_gettoken()
repeatedly until the matching ENDTAG is returned.

Thanks for the reply, but I guess I'm doing something wrong. My test
page is nationalreview.com. Just to make sure I hadn't completely
misdiagnosed the problem, I added `case Tag_style:' under `case
Tag_strong' within switch(g.tag). Sure enough, the text I would like
to get rid of came out bold. Then I tried adding

		case Tag_style:
			break;

under switch(g.tag), but the text refuses to disappear. I'm doing mk
clean, mk, cp 8.out /usr/gp/bin/386/mothra without complaint, but I'm
not getting the desired result.

This will cause the tag itself to be ignored, but the text following the
tag will still be treated as displayable unless you do something to stop
it.  That's why I suggested a loop calling pl_gettoken() until it returns
an ENDTAG with g.tag==Tag_style.

styles are supposed to be parsed with the same rules as scripts.
i realize that mothra doesn't use libhtml, but there's a patch on
sources -- /n/sources/patch/libhtml-lexscript -- that fixes script
parsing for libhtml, which may be helpful.
