* Html Reader Not Handling non-ASCII Data Correctly
Fix#2942. Code was changed by #2894 because PHP8.2 will deprecate how it was being done. See linked issue for more details. Dom loadhtml assumes ISO-8859-1 in the absence of a charset attribute or equivalent, and there is no way to override that assumption. Sigh. The suggested replacements are unsuitable in one way or another. I think this will work with minimal disruption (replace ampersand, less than, and greater than with entities representing illegal characters, then use htmlentities, then restore ampersand, less than, and greater than).
* Better Implementation
Use regexp to escape non-ASCII. Less kludgey, less reliant on the vagaries of the PHP maintainers.
* Additional Tests
Test non-ASCII outside of cell contents: sheet title, image alt attribute.
* Apply Same Change in Second Location
Forgot to change loadFromString.
* Additional Test
Confirm escaped ampersand is handled correctly.
Reader/Html is now covered except for 1 statement.
There is some coverage of RichText when you know in advance that the
html will expand into a single cell.
It is a tougher nut, one that I have not yet cracked,
to try to handle rich text while converting unkown html to multiple cells.
The original author left this as a TODO, and so for now must I.
It made sense to restructure some of the code. There are some changes.
- Issue #1532 is fixed (links are now saved when using rowspan).
- Colors can now be specified as html color name. To accomplish this,
Helper/Html function colourNameLookup was changed from protected
to public, and changed to static.
- Superfluous empty lines were eliminated in a number of places, e.g.
<ul><li>A</li><li>B</li><li>C</li></ul>
had formerly caused a wrapped cell to be created with 2 empty lines
followed by A, B, and C on separate lines; it will now just have the
3 A/B/C lines, which seems like a more sensible interpretation.
- Img alt tag, which had been cast to float, is now used as a string.
Private member "encoding" is not used. Functions getEncoding and setEncoding
have therefore been marked deprecated. In fact, I was unable to get
SecurityScanner to pass *any* html which is not UTF-8. There are
possibly ways of getting around this (in Reader/Html - I have no
intention of messing with Security Scanner), as can be seen in my
companion pull request for Excel2003 Xml Reader. Doing this would be
easier for ASCII-compatible character sets (like ISO-8859-1),
than for non-compatible charsets (like UTF-16). I am not
convinced that the effort is worth it, but am willing to investigate
further.
I added a number of tests, creating an Html directory, and moving
HtmlTest to that directory.
