maxhtml operator failing in 3.8.1, 3.8.2 and 3.9.0

Hi!

The maxhtml-operator is not working as expected;

When having the input "Lorem ipsum<a href=#>link</a>", the result is correct: 'Lorem ips...'
But when the input is "Lorem <a href=#>ipsum</a> dolor sit amet.", the result should be: 'Lorem <a href=#>ips...</a>'

I use the following test:

/**
* Tests the TinyButStrong template engine
*/
class TBSTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    /**
     * With TBS it's possible to strip texts to a specific length, f.i. the command
     *
     *    [onshow.description;ope=max:10;maxhtml]
     *
     * will strip the caption to 10 characters, but should not destroy HTML tags
     * which are probably located at character 10.
     *
     * @dataProvider provideMaxHTML
     */
    public function testMaxHTMLOperation(
        $htmltext,
        $expectedOutput,
        $template='[onshow.htmltext;strconv=utf8;ope=max:10;maxhtml]')
    {
        $TBS = new clsTinyButStrong;

        # Set variable
        $GLOBALS['htmltext'] = $htmltext;

        # Directly set source
        $TBS->Source = $template;

        # Run plugins, if any:
        $TBS->LoadTemplate(null);

        # Process
        $TBS->Show(TBS_NOTHING);

        # Get final HTML:
        $actualOutput = $TBS->Source;

        $this->assertEquals($expectedOutput, $actualOutput);
    }

    public function provideMaxHTML()
    {
        return array(
            array('Lorem ipsum<a href=#>link</a>', 'Lorem ips...'),
            array(    'Lorem <a href=#>ipsum</a> dolor sit amet.',
                'Lorem <a href=#>ips</a>...'),
        );
    }
};

Hi Codeless,

But it would be a huge work to analyze formally the HTML content, and to be able to cut a correctly string.
An HTML content can have many embedded <div> , <span>, and even <table>.

That's why TBS applies a quite simple analysis for reading the string contained in the HTML.
If a stronger analysis is needed, it can be coded using a "onformat" function.

Hi Skrol!

Yes, it would be a huge work; so i misunderstood the maxhtml operator, it seems? Can you give me a usecase for maxhtml?

Thanks!

Hi,

Parameter "maxhtml" only indicates that HTML characters (that is special text items starting with "&" and endding with ";") are taken in account and are considered as a single characters.
Parameter "maxhtml" has no different consideration for special HTML characters such as "<" or ">".
Parameter "maxhtml" has no different consideration for HTML tags and HTML entities.
