form.rs

1//! Phase B, the forms half: the escaper, the field classes and the rules a
2//! described field's markup is drawn with.
3//!
4//! The field markup itself is drawn by the quasi hosts (`quasi-webview` for
5//! this renderer), which own the vocabulary member. What stays here is what
6//! every caller writing HTML needs and what the generated stylesheet has to
7//! agree with: [`escape`] and [`escape_into`], [`Markup`] and [`Filling`], the
8//! class lists, and the rules behind them.
9//!
10//! # Why one escaper is enough
11//!
12//! goingson carries four escapers and 543 call sites that must pick between
13//! them, because `escapeHtml` is built on `textContent` serialization and
14//! **`textContent` refuses to encode `"`**. That is what makes it unsound in an
15//! attribute, and it is the whole reason the choice exists. Its `escape.js`
16//! records the finding as the CHRONIC-XSS seal, and its test suite has a gate
17//! keeping the unsafe one off the namespace.
18//!
19//! [`escape`] here is not built on that, so it encodes the quote along with
20//! everything else, which makes one function sound in both sinks. The four-way
21//! choice does not move into Rust: it disappears. A caller hands an unescaped
22//! value to the output only through [`Markup`], which it has to name.
23//!
24//! # What the description does not carry
25//!
26//! One thing: the **current value**, which arrives in [`Filling`]. A webview
27//! reads it back out of the DOM, an immediate-mode renderer writes through a
28//! `&mut`, and a terminal keeps an edit buffer; a description carrying it would
29//! have to carry a way to write it back, at which point it is a form model.

434/// The rules a field's suggestion list needs.
435///
436/// [`editor_rules`]' precedent and its argument: these three have no app
437/// counterpart to keep because the list did not exist before the member did.
438/// The markup is `quasi-webview`'s, a suggestion source is a route, which no
439/// description layer carries, and the look is
440/// still this crate's, because a renderer inventing how a list of candidates
441/// reads is the drift the vocabulary check exists to catch.
442///
443/// # In flow, and not floating
444///
445/// An absolutely positioned list needs a positioned ancestor, and the only
446/// candidate is `.form-group`, which is the app's class and deliberately
447/// unruled here. So the list stands under the control and moves what is below
448/// it. An app that wants it over the form positions the group itself, which is
449/// one declaration and is the app's call about its own layout.
450///
451/// `:empty` is what takes it away, so a route that answers with no candidates
452/// leaves no box behind. It is a content question rather than a whitespace one
453/// only because the emitter writes no whitespace inside the container, which is
454/// stated in `quasi-webview`'s own test.
455///
456/// # Placement, and nothing about size
457///
458/// One candidate to a line, its detail at the line's end. Without it the
459/// entries are bare anchors and run together as one paragraph: MNW's discover
460/// search drew "Blue HourProjectKickItem". Spacing comes from the geometry
461/// tokens every other form rule uses, so no magnitude is asserted here.
462///
463/// No height and no scroll ceiling. How tall a list of candidates gets to be
464/// before it scrolls is a magnitude, and magnitudes are `makeover-geometry`'s,
465/// exactly as the preview pane's height is.
