Or should it at least give a hint -to the user how to specify a non-vacuous schema? - -** Support for adding new schemas to schema-locating files. Add -documentElement and namespace elements. - -** C-c C-w should be able to report current type id. - -** Implement doctypePublicId. - -** Implement typeIdBase. - -** Implement typeIdProcessingInstruction. - -** Support xml:base. - -** Implement group. - -** Find preferred prefix from schema-locating files.

Needs change to schema format. - -** Provide feasible validation (as in Jing) toggle. - -** Save the validation state as a property on the error overlay to enable -more detailed diagnosis. - -** Provide an Error Summary buffer showing all the validation errors. - -** Pop-up menu. What is useful? Tag a region (should be greyed out if -the region is not balanced). Suggestions based on error messages. - -** Have configurable list of namespace URIs so that we can provide -namespace URI completion on extension elements or with schema-less -documents. - -** Allow validation to handle XInclude. - -** ID/IDREF support. - -* Completion - -** Make it work with icomplete. Only use a function to complete when -some of the possible names have undeclared namespaces. - -** How should C-return in mixed text work? - -** When there's a vacuous schema, C-return after < will insert the -end-tag. Is this a bug or a feature? - -** After completing start-tag, ensure we don't get unhelpful message -from validation - -** Syntax table for completion. - -** Should complete start-tag name with a space if namespace attributes -are required. - -** When completing start-tag name with no prefix and it doesn't match -should try to infer namespace from local name. - -** Should completion pay attention to characters after point? If so, -how? - -** When completing start-tag name, add required atts if only one required -attribute. - -** When completing attribute name, add attribute value if only one value -is possible. - -** After attribute-value completion, insert space after close delimiter -if more attributes are required. - -** Complete on enumerated data values in elements. - -** When in context that allows only elements, should get tag -completion without having to type < first. - -** When immediately after start-tag name, and name is valid and not -prefix of any other name, should C-return complete on attribute names? - -** When completing attributes, more consistent to ignore all attributes -after point. - -** Inserting attribute value completions needs to be sensitive to what -delimiter is used so that it quotes the correct character. - -** Complete on encoding-names in XML decl. - -** Complete namespace declarations by searching for all namespaces -mentioned in the schema. - -* Well-formed XML support - -** Deal better with Mule-UCS - -** Deal with UTF-8 BOM when reading. - -** Complete entity names. - -** Provide some support for entity names for MathML. - -** Command to repeat the last tag. - -** Support for changing between character references and characters. -Need to check that context is one in which character references are -allowed. xmltok prolog parsing will need to distinguish parameter -literals from other kinds of literal. - -** Provide a comment command to bind to M-; that works better than the -normal one. - -** Make indenting in a multi-line comment work. - -** Structure view. Separate buffer displaying element tree. Be able to -navigate from structure view to document and vice-versa. - -** Flash matching >. - -** Smart selection command that selects increasingly large syntactically -coherent chunks of XML. If point is in an attribute value, first -select complete value; then if command is repeated, select value plus -delimiters, then select attribute name as well, then complete -start-tag, then complete element, then enclosing element, etc. - -** ispell integration. - -** Block-level items in mixed content should be indented, e.g: - <para>This is list: - <ul> - <li>item</li> - -** Provide option to indent like this: - -** <para>This is a paragraph - occupying multiple lines.</para> - -** Option to add make a / that closes a start-tag electrically insert a -space for the XHTML guys. - -** C-M-q should work. - -* Datatypes - -** Figure out workaround for CJK characters with regexps. - -** Does category C contain Cn? - -** Do ENTITY datatype properly. - -* XML Parsing Library - -** Parameter entity parsing option, nil (never), t (always), -unless-standalone (unless standalone="yes" in XML declaration). - -** When a file is currently being edited, there should be an option to -use its buffer instead of the on-disk copy. - -* Handling all XML features - -** Provide better support for editing external general parsed entities. -Perhaps provide a way to force ignoring undefined entities; maybe turn -this on automatically with <?xml encoding=""?> (with no version -pseudo-att). - -** Handle internal general entity declarations containing elements. - -** Handle external general entity declarations. - -** Handle default attribute declarations in internal subset. - -** Handle parameter entities (including DTD). - -* RELAX NG - -** Do complete schema checking, at least optionally. - -** Detect include/external loops during schema parse. - -** Coding system detection for schemas. Should use utf-8/utf-16 per the -spec. But also need to allow encodings other than UTF-8/16 to support -CJK charsets that Emacs cannot represent in Unicode. - -* Catching XML errors - -** Check public identifiers. - -** Check default attribute values. - -* Performance - -** Explore whether overlay-recenter can cure overlays performance -problems. - -** Cache schemas. Need to have list of files and mtimes. - -** Make it possible to reduce rng-validate-chunk-size significantly, -perhaps to 500 bytes, without bad performance impact: don't do -redisplay on every chunk; pass continue functions on other uses of -rng-do-some-validation. - -** Cache after first tag. - -** Introduce a new name class that is a choice between names (so that -we can use member) - -** intern-choice should simplify after patterns with same 1st/2nd args - -** Large numbers of overlays slow things down dramatically. Represent -errors using text properties. This implies we cannot incrementally -keep track of the number of errors, in order to determine validity. -Instead, when validation completes, scan for any characters with an -error text property; this seems to be fast enough even with large -buffers. Problem with error at end of buffer, where there's no -character; need special variable for this. Need to merge face from -font-lock with the error face: use :inherit attribute with list of two -faces. How do we avoid making rng-valid depend on nxml-mode? - -* Error recovery - -** Don't stop at newline in looking for close of start-tag. - -** Use indentation to guide recovery from mismatched end-tags - -** Don't keep parsing when currently not well-formed but previously -well-formed - -** Try to recover from a bad start-tag by popping an open element if -there was a mismatched end-tag unaccounted for. - -** Try to recover from a bad start-tag open on the hypothesis that there -was an error in the namespace URI. - -** Better recovery from ill-formed XML declarations. - -* Useability improvements - -** Should print a "Parsing..." message during long movements. - -** Provide better position for reference to undefined pattern error. - -** Put Well-formed in the mode-line when validating against any-content. - -** Trim marking of illegal data for leading and trailing whitespace. - -** Show Invalid status as soon as we are sure it's invalid, rather than -waiting for everything to be completely up to date. - -** When narrowed, Valid or Invalid status should probably consider only -validity of narrowed region. - -* Bug fixes - -** Need to give an error for a document like: <foo/><![CDATA[ ]]> - -** Make nxml-forward-balanced-item work better for the prolog. - -** Make filling and indenting comments work in the prolog. - -** Should delete RNC Input buffers. - -** Figure out what regex use for NCName and use it consistently, - -** Should have not-well-formed tokens in ref. - -** Require version in XML declaration? Probably not because prevents -use for external parsed entities. At least forbid standalone -without version. - -** Reject schema that compiles to rng-not-allowed-ipattern. - -** Move point backwards on schema parse error so that it's on the right token. - -* Internal - -** Use rng-quote-string consistently. - -** Use parsing library for XML to texinfo conversion. - -** Rename xmltok.el to nxml-token.el. Use nxml-t- prefix instead of -xmltok-. Change nxml-t-type to nxml-t-token-type, nxml-t-start to -nxml-t-token-start. - -** Can we set fill-prefix to nil and rely on indenting? - -** xmltok should make available replacement text of entities containing -elements - -** In rng-valid, instead of using modification-hooks and -insert-behind-hooks on dependent overlays, use same technique as -nxml-mode. - -** Port to XEmacs. Issues include: Unicode (XEmacs seems to be based on -Mule-UCS); overlays/text properties vs extents; absence of -fontification-functions hook. - -* Fontification - -** Allow face to depend on element qname, attribute qname, attribute -value. Use list with pairs of (R . F), where R specifies regexps and -F specifies faces. How can this list be made to depend on the -document type? - -* Other - -** Support RELAX NG XML syntax (use XML parsing library). - -** Support W3C XML Schema (use XML parsing library). - -** Command to infer schema from current document (like trang). - -* Schemas - -** XSLT schema should take advantage of RELAX NG to express cooccurrence -constraints on attributes (e.g. xsl:template). - -* Documentation - -** Move material from README to manual. - -** Document encodings. - -* Notes - -** How can we allow an error to be displayed on a different token from -where it is detected? In particular, for a missing closing ">" we -will need to display it at the beginning of the following token. At -the moment, when we parse the following token the error overlay will -get cleared. - -** How should rng-goto-next-error deal with narrowing? - -** Perhaps should merge errors having same start position even if they -have different ends. - -** How to handle surrogates? One possibility is to be compatible with -utf8.e: represent as sequence of 4 chars. But utf-16 is incompatible -with this. - -** Should we distinguish well-formedness errors from invalidity errors? -(I think not: we may want to recover from a bad start-tag by implying -an end-tag.) - -** Seems to be a bug with Emacs, where a mouse movement that causes -help-echo text to appear counts as pending input but does not cause -idle timer to be restarted. - -** Use XML to represent this file. - -** I had a TODO which said simply "split-string". What did I mean? - -** Investigate performance on large files all on one line. - -* Issues for Emacs versions >= 22 - -** Take advantage of UTF-8 CJK support. - -** Supply a next-error-function. - -** Investigate this NEWS item "Emacs now tries to set up buffer coding -systems for HTML/XML files automatically." - -** Take advantage of the pointer text property. - -** Leverage char-displayable-p. - -Local variables: -mode: outline -end: |
