Moves the internal cursor in the HTML Processor to a given bookmark’s location.
Description
Be careful! Seeking backwards to a previous location resets the parser to the start of the document and reparses the entire contents up until it finds the sought-after bookmarked location.
In order to prevent accidental infinite loops, there’s a maximum limit on the number of times seek() can be called.
Parameters
$bookmark_name
stringrequired- Jump to the place in the document identified by this bookmark name.
Source
public function seek( $bookmark_name ) {
// Flush any pending updates to the document before beginning.
$this->get_updated_html();
$actual_bookmark_name = "_{$bookmark_name}";
$processor_started_at = $this->state->current_token
? $this->bookmarks[ $this->state->current_token->bookmark_name ]->start
: 0;
$bookmark_starts_at = $this->bookmarks[ $actual_bookmark_name ]->start;
$bookmark_length = $this->bookmarks[ $actual_bookmark_name ]->length;
$direction = $bookmark_starts_at > $processor_started_at ? 'forward' : 'backward';
/*
* If seeking backwards, it's possible that the sought-after bookmark exists within an element
* which has been closed before the current cursor; in other words, it has already been removed
* from the stack of open elements. This means that it's insufficient to simply pop off elements
* from the stack of open elements which appear after the bookmarked location and then jump to
* that location, as the elements which were open before won't be re-opened.
*
* In order to maintain consistency, the HTML Processor rewinds to the start of the document
* and reparses everything until it finds the sought-after bookmark.
*
* There are potentially better ways to do this: cache the parser state for each bookmark and
* restore it when seeking; store an immutable and idempotent register of where elements open
* and close.
*
* If caching the parser state it will be essential to properly maintain the cached stack of
* open elements and active formatting elements when modifying the document. This could be a
* tedious and time-consuming process as well, and so for now will not be performed.
*
* It may be possible to track bookmarks for where elements open and close, and in doing so
* be able to quickly recalculate breadcrumbs for any element in the document. It may even
* be possible to remove the stack of open elements and compute it on the fly this way.
* If doing this, the parser would need to track the opening and closing locations for all
* tokens in the breadcrumb path for any and all bookmarks. By utilizing bookmarks themselves
* this list could be automatically maintained while modifying the document. Finding the
* breadcrumbs would then amount to traversing that list from the start until the token
* being inspected. Once an element closes, if there are no bookmarks pointing to locations
* within that element, then all of these locations may be forgotten to save on memory use
* and computation time.
