The HTML Processor understands HTML regardless of how it's written, but many other functions are unable to do so. There are all sorts of syntax peculiarities and semantics that would be helpful to eliminate using the knowledge contained in the HTML Processor. This patch introduces `WP_HTML_Processor::normalize( $html )` as a method which takes a fragment of HTML as input and then returns a serialized version of the input, "cleaning it up" by balancing all tags, providing all missing optional tags, re-encoding all text, removing all duplicate attributes, and double-quote-escaping all attribute values. Core-62036

If code later in the processing pipeline adds unquoted attributes and doesn't add the requisite space following that, then another parser might find that the solidus is part of the attribute value instead of serving as a self-closing flag.

Did you make it past here and think it's still appropriate or somehow better to serve XHTML? Please just send HTML - it's a different language than XHTML and it's recommended to avoid XHTML. XML cannot adequately express HTML documents. |

Provides a mechanism to serialize an HTML fragment to the XML syntax. YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T USE THIS!!!!
REMEMBER that so-called "XHTML" served without a path ending in
.xmlor without theContent-type: application/xml+xhtmlHTTP header will render as HTML and ONE SHOULD NOT SERVE XML/XHTML as HTML!!!Extremely rare cases when it's appropriate to use this
<content type="html"><p>yay</></content>, but if the document can be serialized into<content type="xhtml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>yay</p></content>.HTML generally cannot be expressed in XML, and according to the HTML specification, Using the XML syntax is not recommended! Prefer escaping the HTML to avoid corruption and data loss.
