HTML API: Ensure that breadcrumbs are properly retained after seeking.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
In some cases, it's possible to seek back into a location found inside
an element which has been closed before the point in the document where
the `seek()` was made. In these cases the breadcrumb stack is lost, and
calling `get_breadcrumbs()` after the seek will return the wrong information.

In this patch, the HTML Processor takes a conservative approach and
moves to the front of the document, then reparses the document until
it reaches the sought-after location. This ensures consistency on
the stack of open elements and active formats, and preserves
breadcrumbs.

* from the stack of open elements which appear after the bookmarked location and then jump to
* that location, as the elements which were open before won't be re-opened.
*
* In order to maintain consistency, the HTML Processor rewinds to the start of the document
* and reparses everything until it finds the sought-after bookmark.
*
* There are potentially better ways to do this: cache the parser state for each bookmark and
* restore it when seeking; store an immutable and idempotent register of where elements open
* and close.
*
* If caching the parser state it will be essential to properly maintain the cached stack of
* open elements and active formatting elements when modifying the document. This could be a
* tedious and time-consuming process as well, and so for now will not be performed.
*
* It may be possible to track bookmarks for where elements open and close, and in doing so
* be able to quickly recalculate breadcrumbs for any element in the document. It may even
* be possible to remove the stack of open elements and compute it on the fly this way.
* If doing this, the parser would need to track the opening and closing locations for all
* tokens in the breadcrumb path for any and all bookmarks. By utilizing bookmarks themselves
* this list could be automatically maintained while modifying the document. Finding the
* breadcrumbs would then amount to traversing that list from the start until the token
* being inspected. Once an element closes, if there are no bookmarks pointing to locations
* within that element, then all of these locations may be forgotten to save on memory use
