Various whitespace-related issues have been fixed, and support for the
different CSS white-space values is improved enough that I think we can
stop doing the hack where we just prune whitespace nodes from the tree
and actually let them show up.
This is a nice step forward for correctness with the slight downside of
cluttering up layout tree dumps with tons of whitespace text nodes.
But hey, that's the web we know & love. :^)
Fixes#4427.
Layout nodes now only carry CSS computer values with them. The main
idea here is to give them only what they need to perform layout, and
leave the rest back in the DOM.
Now that we have RTTI in userspace, we can do away with all this manual
hackery and use dynamic_cast.
We keep the is<T> and downcast<T> helpers since they still provide good
readability improvements. Note that unlike dynamic_cast<T>, downcast<T>
does not fail in a recoverable way, but will assert if the object being
casted is not a T.
Boxes can now be floated left or right, which makes text within the
same block formatting context flow around them.
We were creating way too many block formatting contexts. As it turns
out, we don't need one for every new block, but rather there's a set
of rules that determines whether a given block creates a new block
formatting context.
Each BFC keeps track of the floating boxes within it, and IFC's can
then query it to find the available space for line boxes.
There's a huge hack in here where we assume all lines are the exact
line-height. Making this work with vertically non-uniform lines will
require some architectural changes.
Fragment painting was very limited by only being called during the
foreground paint phase. We now paint fragments as part of every phase
(and the phase is passed to paint_fragment() of course!)
Bring the names of various boxes closer to spec language. This should
hopefully make things easier to understand and hack on. :^)
Some notable changes:
- LayoutNode -> Layout::Node
- LayoutBox -> Layout::Box
- LayoutBlock -> Layout::BlockBox
- LayoutReplaced -> Layout::ReplacedBox
- LayoutDocument -> Layout::InitialContainingBlockBox
- LayoutText -> Layout::TextNode
- LayoutInline -> Layout::InlineNode
Note that this is not strictly a "box tree" as we also hang inline/text
nodes in the same tree, and they don't generate boxes. (Instead, they
contribute line box fragments to their containing block!)
