-
Hpricot for JRuby -- nice work Ola Bini!
-
Inline Markaby for Hpricot documents.
-
XML tags and attributes are no longer downcased like HTML is.
-
new syntax for grabbing everything between two elements using a Range in
the search method: (doc/(“font”..“font/br”)) or in nodes_at like so:
(doc/“font”).nodes_at(“*”..“br”). Only works with either a pair of siblings
or a set of a parent and a sibling.
-
Ignore self-closing endings on tags (such as form) which are containers.
Treat them like open parent tags. Reported by Jonathan Nichols on the
hpricot list.
-
Escaping of attributes, yanked from Jim Weirich and Sam Ruby’s work in
Builder.
-
Element#raw_attributes gives unescaped data. Element#attributes gives
escaped.
-
Added: Elements#attr, Elements#remove_attr, Elements#remove_class.
-
Added: Traverse#preceding, Traverse#following, Traverse#previous,
Traverse#next.
-
support for a[text()=“Click Me!”] and h3 and the like.
-
Hpricot.buffer_size accessor for increasing Hpricot’s buffer if you’re
encountering huge ASP.NET viewstate attribs.
-
some support for colons in tag names (not full namespace support yet.)
-
Element.to_original_html will attempt to preserve the original HTML while
merging your changes.
-
Element.to_plain_text converts an element’s contents to a simple text
format.
-
Element.inner_text removes all tags and returns text nodes concatenated
into a single string.
-
no @raw_string variable kept for comments, text, and cdata – as it’s
redundant.
-
xpath-style indices (//p/a[1]) but keep in mind that they aren’t
zero-based.
-
node_position is the index among all sibling nodes, while position is the
position among children of identical type.
-
comment() and text() search criteria, like: //p/text(), which selects all
text inside paragraph tags.
-
every element has css_path and xpath methods which return respective
absolute paths.
-
more flexibility all around: in parsing attributes, tags, comments and
cdata.
-
Fixed negative string size error on empty tokens. (news.bbc.co.uk)
-
Allow the parser to accept just text nodes. (such as:
Hpricot.parse('TEXT'))
-
from JQuery to Hpricot::Elements: remove, empty, append, prepend, before,
after, wrap, set, html(…), to_html, to_s.
-
on containers: to_html, replace_child, insert_before, insert_after,
innerHTML=.
-
Hpricot(…) is an alias for parse.
-
open up all properties to setters, let people do as they may.
-
use to_html for the full html of a node or set of elements.
-
doctypes were messed.
