References — bi-03-html-parsing

Primary sources first. In-tree Chromium docs beat any external source, including these modules.

  • WHATWG HTML Standard §13 Parsing HTML documents — tokenization and tree construction. Read the "in table" and "in table text" modes in full; they are shorter than they look.
  • WHATWG HTML Standard — fragment parsing algorithm, and the "appropriate place for inserting a node" algorithm.
  • third_party/blink/renderer/core/html/parser/ — start from html_document_parser.h, and read html_document_parser_fastpath.h for the fragment fast path.
  • html5lib test data format (used by WPT and by most non-browser HTML parsers).
  • Blink's SpecMapping.md for the spec→directory mapping.

When a claim here proves stale, record it in PROGRESS.md section 7.
