gomobile.xhtmlmp 0.1

XHTML mobile profile HTML transformer and cleaner for Pyhton

gomobile.xhtmlmp provides XHTML mobile profile cleaner. It takes in arbitary HTML code and turns it to valid XHTML-MP code which can be dropped in XHTML MP page.

The code will also filter possible malicious code in external feed content, like <script> tags.

Requirements

• Python 2.4
• lxml

This package has no dependencies to Plone or GoMobile and can be used with any Python code.

Features

• Turn any incoming HTML/XHTML to mobile profile compatible
  • Enforce ALT text on images - especially useful for external tracking images (feedburner tracker)
• Protect against Cross-Site Scripting Attacks (XSS) and other nastiness, as provided by lxml.html.clean
• Unicode compliant - eats funky characters

Usage

clean_xhtml_mp(html)

This function will do everyhing you need.

Run XHTML mobile profile cleaner for HTML code:

@param html: HTML as a string or lxml Document
@return: XHTML, utf-8 encoded string

Example:

from gomobile.xhtmlmp.transformers.xhtmlmp_safe import clean_xhtml_mp

html = '<img src="http://www.foobar.com">'
output = clean_xhtml_mp(html)
self.assertEqual(output, '<img src="http://www.foobar.com" alt=""/>', "Got:" + output)

Roadmap

Future features will include:

• Automatic resize for image sources

Unit tests

Put gomobile.xhtmlmp to your PYTHONPATH.

Run unit tests normally like:
