Bugs, Problems and Limitations

Known bugs

• If a tag is called without any attributes, no check for required attributes is performed
• If a tag that defined an ID before gets stripped, the ID still remains in the ID-table and unresolved references to it are not detected.
• If a unknwown tag or attribute is detected within a tag-call, the parser aborts from tag-scan and skips everything until the next occurence of a `>'. Therefor, hsc-features like absolute URIs or expressions are not processed.
• For missing end-tags, the position of the last occurence of the start-tag with the same name is reported as correspondig start tag.
• Attribute values passed without quotes are scanned until the next white-space. This is not correct because everything execpt nums, digits, "-" and "." requires quotes around and therefor should resolve a warning.
• I'm still not sure, if GETSIZE for GIF89a can handle everything correct - but hopefully it does. I've never seen a such an idiotic image-format before
• I'm still not sure, if GETSIZE for JFIF/JPEG can handle everything correct - but hopefully it does. I've really never seen a such an idiotic and that chaotic structured image-format before.
• There seems to be some problems with the attribute-type NUM. This has been reported the day of this release, but I don't wanted to delay this version even longer, and so I just replaced all numerics by strings.
• When compiled with GCC, hsc uses an unreasonable amount of memory when processing large files. I tried a 5500 lines file, and gcc-hsc needs 16MB instead of 800KB for vbcc-hsc. I don't know, if this behavior is hsc's fault.
• Most NEXT and PREV buttons of the docs don't fit; I just wanted to show how to create a navigation bar, but I'm too lazy to maintain it while the structure of the documention isn't fixed.
• As I know myself, these documents still have lots of typos and contains some `strange english'..

Known Problems

• URI checking is performed via trying to open a file. As AmigaOS is case-insensitive dealing with filenames, problems might occure when copying the html-object-tree to a case-sensitive filesystem. I recommend to reconvert the whole project in this case.
• The obsolete tags <LISTING> and <XMP> might not be treated correctly, as the behavior of these two seems so be not very strickly definded. You should avoid them anyway and use <PRE> or <$source> instead.
