Parsing CSS3 in DIV

I am trying to converit a Word document to display in my CMS as essentially a stand alone two column document.

I would like to use DIV column attributes but they do not seem to be parsed. I have not looked very deep but I have not found much description of DIV attributes.

The document contains numbered lists which do not flow properly between columns set up with multiple DIVs or Table.

I recall that back in the mists of time one could start an ordered list with any value and it would become the first value for the number. I do not seem to be able to find any documentation on that and experiments do not seem to work.

Can you post some example code (wrap in CODE tags)?

Here is the document with the css3 column attributes. Browser differences are covered with -moz- and -webkit- etc. according to the documentation I found.

Code:

I suspect part of the problem is that you are missing ; between style properties. In the example above,

Code:

---

style="width:85% column-count:2 column-gap:40px";

---

Actually means this in CSS:

Code:

---

{
        width: "85% column-count:2 column-gap:40px";
}

---

On the other hand, the current DIV parser doesn't accept -moz, -webkit, etc prefixes. I suppose we can call this a bug.

In vault/core/model/parser/handle/clean/vw.php, find:

Code:

---

                                        if (empty($tag_style["$style_tag"]) OR $tag_style["$style_tag"] == $omit OR empty($styleinfo[1]))
                                        {
                                                continue;
                                        }

---

Replace with:

Code:

---

                                        $test_tag = $style_tag;

                                        if ($test_tag AND $test_tag[0] == '-')
                                        {
                                                $test_tag = preg_replace('#^\-(moz|ms|o|webkit)\-#', '', $test_tag);
                                        }

                                        if (empty($tag_style["$test_tag"]) OR $tag_style["$test_tag"] == $omit OR empty($styleinfo[1]))
                                        {
                                                continue;
                                        }

You might have to edit the page again to see the changes.

Do we have documentation on how the vw syntax maps to in-line style syntax? I have a difficult time keeping track of semicolons vertical bar and space meaning.
I put in the code change and ran a quick test with this result:

Code:

---

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '', $test_tag);' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/mb2nawc/public_html/vault/core/model/parser/handle/clean/vw.php on line 568

---

Sorry, this line was missing a closing '

Code:

---

$test_tag = preg_replace('#^\-(moz|ms|o|webkit)\-#, '', $test_tag);

---

Should have been:

Code:

---

$test_tag = preg_replace('#^\-(moz|ms|o|webkit)\-#', '', $test_tag);

---

Sometimes it's kind of arbitrary how custom BB-Codes choose to break up parameters. But basically, in VaultWiki, it's like this:

Code:

---

[div] html attributes directly mapped |
div content
[/div]

---

For DIVs and SPANs, the syntax is the same. For TABLE it gets a little interesting because you can specify html attributes for rows and cells too:

Code:

---

[table] html attributes for table tag directly mapped
|- html attributes for tr tag directly mapped
| html attributes for td tag directly mapped | td content
| td content
|-
| td content || td content
[/table]

---

HTML attributes map directly as entered, and style properties within the style HTML attribute (e.g. class="testClass" style="margin: 1px") are mapped directly to the CSS properties. However, VaultWiki cleans the values of these properties to remove cross-site scripting attempts, and checks that the attribute names and property names are actually the names of valid properties, with the exception of HTML5 data-* properties. It does not allow the use of event-attributes like onclick, onload, etc.

It also only allows certain class names within the class attribute, as some classes might be used as hooks for Javascript callbacks. In general, allowed class names include classes defined in the default forum style, plus a couple of classes from VaultWiki's styles.
