New Lexical Analyzer
Thu Apr 21, 2011 11:28:42 pm


I have completed development of a new lexical analyzer. This should allow arbitrary fake tags to show like this:

<fake tag>Example</fake tag>

This does not require any special technique. Just type it and it will show. This will also leave all tags visible that are real but filtered out for security reasons, and it should allow for arbitrary emoticons containing the < symbol, which previously caused all text following that symbol to vanish if the emoticon was not whitelisted.

One extra bonus is automatic tag closing, which should eliminate problems with unclosed tags. The only possible exception is in lengthy quotes. That will be fixed later.

You are welcome to try to break the system in any way except via DDOS.

Excellent. That was quite a few bold and italics tags I left open, CERTAINLY more than anyone is likely to use in an actual comment.

You need the followup comment to verify.

It counts all opening and closing tags and creates as many closing tags as it needs to match the opening ones.

Are you just testing the iframe with this comment or something else as well?
