On browsing bugs.plkr.org, I came across #196 asking for a supported tags reference, so I started this table: http://www.pluckerbooks.com/tags.html
It is based on the python parser in cvs. I compared this to the W3's HTML4 spec and noticed a few things that could be supported with fairly trivial parser modifications. Most of these are infrequently used, but are correct HTML and probably should be supported if relevant. 1. <code> is unsupported. This could be handled as <pre>. A few other phrase elements (which aren't really used much anyway) might want to be considered: <kbd>, <samp>, and <var> as <pre> (more esoteric computer code tags). 2. <basefont>. Its 'color' attribute is the same as setting <body text="XXX"> 3. <big>. Could be rendered as <h3> or <h4> are (only inline)? 4. 'summary' attributes for tables. These could be used as alt is for <img>, displaying in place of the table icon when a table cannot be rendered inline. 5. <del>. Denotes a deletion, could be rendered as <strike>. Pass <ins> unaltered? 6. Definition lists. <dl>, <dt> (term), and <dd> (definition). Currently these are just marked as paragraphs. It would be cool to perhaps bold the <dt> and indent the <dd>. 7. <menu> is supported, but <dir> isn't. Render as <ul>. 8. The 'align' attribute is only partially supported on supported tags that supposedly support it. ;) I'm thinking of mainly <img> and the header tags <h1>, etc. <img> might be problematic if it's inside a paragraph... 9. Add anchors for 'id' attributes. Just a few thoughts. I'd like to continue building the above table into a guide for content providers.
