This rewrites the HTML rendering pipeline to use a tree data structure,
and implements a custom HTML serializer. The intent is to make it easier
to make changes and to manipulate the output. This should make some
future changes much easier.
This is a large change, but I'll try to briefly summarize what's
changing:
- All of the HTML rendering support has been moved out of
mdbook-markdown into mdbook-html. For now, all of the API surface is
private, though we may consider ways to safely expose it in the
future.
- Instead of using pulldown-cmark's html serializer, this takes the
pulldown-cmark events and translates them into a tree data structure
(using the ego-tree crate to define the tree). See `tree.rs`.
- HTML in the markdown document is parsed using html5ever, and then
lives inside the same tree data structure. See `tokenizer.rs`.
- Transformations are then applied to the tree data structure. For
example, adding header links or hiding code lines.
- Serialization is a simple process of writing out the nodes to a
string. See `serialize.rs`.
- The search indexer works on the tree structure instead of re-rendering
every chapter twice. See `html_handlebars/search.rs`.
- The print page now takes a very different approach of taking the
same tree structure built for rendering the chapters, and applies
transformations to it. This avoid re-parsing everything again. See
`print.rs`.
- I changed the linking behavior so that links on the print page
link to items on the print page instead of outside the print page.
- There are a variety of small changes to how it serializes as can be
seen in the changes to the tests. Some highlights:
- Code blocks no longer have a second layer of `<pre>` tags wrapping
it.
- Fixed a minor issue where a rust code block with a specific
edition was having the wrong classes when there was a default
edition.
- Drops the ammonia dependency, which significantly reduces the number
of dependencies. It was only being used for a very minor task, and
we can handle it much more easily now.
- Drops `pretty_assertions`, they are no longer used (mostly being
migrated to the testsuite).
There's obviously a lot of risk trying to parse everything to such a low
level, but I think the benefits are worth it. Also, the API isn't super
ergonomic compared to say javascript (there are no selectors), but it
works well enough so far.
I have not run this through rigorous benchmarking, but it does have a
very noticeable performance improvement, especially in a debug build.
I expect in the future that we'll want to expose some kind of
integration with extensions so they have access to this tree structure
(or some kind of tree structure).
