SpiderMonkey was updated to mozjs24. If you want to build elinks
with ecmascript support, you must compile using g++ with -fpermissive .
There is a lot of warnings.
There are some memleaks in ecmascript code, especially related to JSAutoCompartment.
I don't know yet, where and how to free it.
Debian does not support mozjs24, so I'm going to gradually update SpiderMonkey version.
Weak points:
- alignof
- js problems
Todo:
- make js work with C++ and mozjs-17
- then mozjs-24
- then mozjs-52
- then mozjs-60
- decrease number of warnings
Option document.browse.preferred_document_width controls the
width of the document, so that documents are rendered with narrower
width than screen width. Makes it easier to read paragraphs.
Patch originally from Shalon Wood <dstar@pele.cx>, see bug #1063.
Instead of using max_document_width as the hard limit to the document
width, it uses a soft limit, where if the document does not fit (due to
tables, etc.), then larger width is used. This reduces the need for
horizontal scrolling for wide documents.
Also added toggle-document-width action to toggle between preferred
width and full screen width. This is bound to 'M' by default. Initial
toggle status is determined by document.browse.use_preferred_document_width
option.
During dumps, document.dump.width option is still used. Perhaps we
should consolidate document.dump.width option with
document.browse.preferred_document_width ?
The long term goal is good looking of the Python docs in ELinks, especially
background colors. Every start tag and every text node would have associated
a natural number. Those numbers would be "drawn" in the document instead
of colors. Finally, the screen driver would change numbers into colors.
This will be done in small steps. The next step is to implement this change
in the screen driver.
...as struct text_style. This way it might be possible later to
add other default formatting attributes by CSS and it allows
quite a code simplification in the DOM renderer.
Currently, all DOM, HTML and plain renderers had their own routine for
conversion from text style to screen attribute. This moves text_style and
text_style_format from html/parser.h to renderer.h and introduces new generic
routine get_screen_chracter_template() that is used by all the specific
rendering engines.
straconcat reads the args with va_arg(ap, const unsigned char *),
and the NULL macro may have the wrong type (e.g. int).
Many places pass string literals of type char * to straconcat. This
is in principle also a violation, but I'm ignoring it for now because
if it becomes a problem with some C implementation, then so will the
use of unsigned char * with printf "%s", which is so widespread in
ELinks that I'm not going to try fixing it now.
The configure script no longer recognizes "CONFIG_UTF_8=yes" lines
in custom features.conf files. They will have to be changed to
"CONFIG_UTF8=yes". This incompatibility was deemed acceptable
because no released version of ELinks supports CONFIG_UTF_8.
The --enable-utf-8 option was not renamed.
Suggested by Miciah on #elinks.
What was renamed:
add_utf_8 => add_utf8
cp2utf_8 => cp2utf8
encode_utf_8 => encode_utf8
get_translation_table_to_utf_8 => get_translation_table_to_utf8
goto invalid_utf_8_start_byte => goto invalid_utf8_start_byte
goto utf_8 => goto utf8
goto utf_8_select => goto utf8_select
terminal_interlink.utf_8 => terminal_interlink.utf8
utf_8_to_unicode => utf8_to_unicode
What was not renamed:
terminal._template_.utf_8_io option, TERM_OPT_UTF_8_IO
Compatibility with existing elinks.conf files would require an alias.
--enable-utf-8
Because the name of the charset is UTF-8, --enable-utf-8 looks better
than --enable-utf8.
CONFIG_UTF_8
Will be renamed in a later commit.
Unicode/utf_8.cp, table_utf_8, aliases_utf_8
Will be renamed in a later commit.
