[Edbrowse-dev] tag attributes in edbrowse DOM

Hi all,

Whilst browsing various documentation stored in Atlassian's Confluence wiki
system [1], I noticed that most of the code examples weren't showing up.
Closer investigation shows they use something which looks like a version of the Syntax Highlighter script
[2] when generating code examples.

This script uses the <script> tag in a strange way,
essentially to store code without html escaping it.
I think it then accesses the DOM to look for the special "syntaxhighlighter"
type attribute of script tags then renders this content.
It also requires a special brush attribute for these tags.
Obviously, since we don't currently support the type attribute for script tags
(that I can see) and certainly don't support arbitrary attributes,
this doesn't work.

I was wondering how difficult it would be to load all attributes for tags into
the DOM, not just the ones which have direct effect on the browser.
I've no idea if this would fix the non-functioning syntax highlighter script (I
suspect probably not), but it would give us a more standard DOM representation.

Cheers,
Adam.
