#8.2 Parsing HTML documents Table of contents 8.2.5 Tree construction
WHATWG
HTML 5
Draft Recommendation — 7 February 2009
← 8.2 Parsing HTML documents – Table of contents – 8.2.5 Tree
construction →
8.2.4 Tokenization
Implementations must act as if they used the following state machine to
tokenise HTML. The state machine must start in the data state. Most
states consume a single character, which may have various side-effects,
and either switches the state machine to a new state to reconsume the
same character, or switches it to a new state (to consume the next
character), or repeats the same state (to consume the next character).
Some states have more complicated behavior and can consume several
characters before switching to another state.
The exact behavior of certain states depends on a content model flag
that is set after certain tokens are emitted. The flag has several
states: PCDATA, RCDATA, CDATA, and PLAINTEXT. Initially it must be in
the PCDATA state. In the RCDATA and CDATA states, a further escape flag
is used to control the behavior of the tokeniser. It is either true or
false, and initially must be set to the false state. The insertion mode
and the stack of open elements also affects tokenization.
The output of the tokenization step is a series of zero or more of the
following tokens: DOCTYPE, start tag, end tag, comment, character,
end-of-file. DOCTYPE tokens have a name, a public identifier, a system
identifier, and a force-quirks flag. When a DOCTYPE token is created,
its name, public identifier, and system identifier must be marked as
missing (which is a distinct state from the empty string), and the
force-quirks flag must be set to off (its other state is on). Start and
end tag tokens have a tag name, a self-closing flag, and a list of
attributes, each of which has a name and a value. When a start or end
tag token is created, its self-closing flag must be unset (its other
state is that it be set), and its attributes list must be empty.
Comment and character tokens have data.
When a token is emitted, it must immediately be handled by the tree
construction stage. The tree construction stage can affect the state of
the content model flag, and can insert additional characters into the
stream. (For example, the script element can result in scripts
executing and using the dynamic markup insertion APIs to insert
characters into the stream being tokenised.)
When a start tag token is emitted with its self-closing flag set, if
the flag is not acknowledged when it is processed by the tree
construction stage, that is a parse error.
When an end tag token is emitted, the content model flag must be
switched to the PCDATA state.
When an end tag token is emitted with attributes, that is a parse
error.
When an end tag token is emitted with its self-closing flag set, that
is a parse error.
Before each step of the tokeniser, the user agent must first check the
parser pause flag. If it is true, then the tokeniser must abort the
processing of any nested invocations of the tokeniser, yielding control
back to the caller. If it is false, then the user agent may then check
to see if either one of the scripts in the list of scripts that will
execute as soon as possible or the first script in the list of scripts
that will execute asynchronously, has completed loading. If one has,
then it must be executed and removed from its list.
The tokeniser state machine consists of the states defined in the
following subsections.
8.2.4.1 Data state
Consume the next input character:
U+0026 AMPERSAND (&)
When the content model flag is set to one of the PCDATA or
RCDATA states and the escape flag is false: switch to the
character reference data state.
Otherwise: treat it as per the "anything else" entry below.
U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS (-)
If the content model flag is set to either the RCDATA state or
the CDATA state, and the escape flag is false, and there are at
least three characters before this one in the input stream, and
the last four characters in the input stream, including this
one, are U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN, U+0021 EXCLAMATION MARK, U+002D
HYPHEN-MINUS, and U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS ("<!--"), then set the
escape flag to true.
In any case, emit the input character as a character token. Stay
in the data state.
U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN (<)
When the content model flag is set to the PCDATA state: switch
to the tag open state.
When the content model flag is set to either the RCDATA state or
the CDATA state, and the escape flag is false: switch to the tag
open state.
Otherwise: treat it as per the "anything else" entry below.
U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN (>)
If the content model flag is set to either the RCDATA state or
the CDATA state, and the escape flag is true, and the last three
characters in the input stream including this one are U+002D
HYPHEN-MINUS, U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS, U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN
("-->"), set the escape flag to false.
In any case, emit the input character as a character token. Stay
in the data state.

character.
If nothing is returned, emit a U+0026 AMPERSAND character token.
Otherwise, emit the character token that was returned.
Finally, switch to the data state.
8.2.4.3 Tag open state
The behavior of this state depends on the content model flag.
If the content model flag is set to the RCDATA or CDATA states
Consume the next input character. If it is a U+002F SOLIDUS (/)
character, switch to the close tag open state. Otherwise, emit a
U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN character token and reconsume the current
input character in the data state.

and reconsume the current input character in the data
state.
8.2.4.4 Close tag open state
If the content model flag is set to the RCDATA or CDATA states but no
start tag token has ever been emitted by this instance of the tokeniser
(fragment case), or, if the content model flag is set to the RCDATA or
CDATA states and the next few characters do not match the tag name of
the last start tag token emitted (compared in an ASCII case-insensitive
manner), or if they do but they are not immediately followed by one of
the following characters:
* U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION
* U+000A LINE FEED (LF)
* U+000C FORM FEED (FF)
* U+0020 SPACE
* U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN (>)

...then emit a U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN character token, a U+002F SOLIDUS
character token, and switch to the data state to process the next input
character.

character, then switch to the tag name state. (Don't emit the
token yet; further details will be filled in before it is
emitted.)

When the user agent leaves the attribute name state (and before
emitting the tag token, if appropriate), the complete attribute's name
must be compared to the other attributes on the same token; if there is
already an attribute on the token with the exact same name, then this
is a parse error and the new attribute must be dropped, along with the
value that gets associated with it (if any).

immediately after the U+0026 AMPERSAND character):
U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION
U+000A LINE FEED (LF)
U+000C FORM FEED (FF)
U+0020 SPACE
U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN
U+0026 AMPERSAND
EOF
The additional allowed character, if there is one
Not a character reference. No characters are consumed, and
nothing is returned. (This is not an error, either.)
U+0023 NUMBER SIGN (#)
Consume the U+0023 NUMBER SIGN.
The behavior further depends on the character after the U+0023
NUMBER SIGN:
U+0078 LATIN SMALL LETTER X
U+0058 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER X
Consume the X.
Follow the steps below, but using the range of characters
U+0030 DIGIT ZERO through to U+0039 DIGIT NINE, U+0061
LATIN SMALL LETTER A through to U+0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER
F, and U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A, through to U+0046
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER F (in other words, 0-9, A-F, a-f).
When it comes to interpreting the number, interpret it as
a hexadecimal number.
Anything else
Follow the steps below, but using the range of characters
U+0030 DIGIT ZERO through to U+0039 DIGIT NINE (i.e. just
0-9).
When it comes to interpreting the number, interpret it as
a decimal number.
Consume as many characters as match the range of characters
given above.
If no characters match the range, then don't consume any
characters (and unconsume the U+0023 NUMBER SIGN character and,
if appropriate, the X character). This is a parse error; nothing
is returned.
Otherwise, if the next character is a U+003B SEMICOLON, consume
that too. If it isn't, there is a parse error.
If one or more characters match the range, then take them all
and interpret the string of characters as a number (either
hexadecimal or decimal as appropriate).
If that number is one of the numbers in the first column of the
following table, then this is a parse error. Find the row with
that number in the first column, and return a character token
for the Unicode character given in the second column of that
row.

Otherwise, if the number is in the range 0x0000 to 0x0008,
0x000E to 0x001F, 0x007F to 0x009F, 0xD800 to 0xDFFF, 0xFDD0 to
0xFDEF, or is one of 0x000B, 0xFFFE, 0xFFFF, 0x1FFFE, 0x1FFFF,
0x2FFFE, 0x2FFFF, 0x3FFFE, 0x3FFFF, 0x4FFFE, 0x4FFFF, 0x5FFFE,

0x9FFFE, 0x9FFFF, 0xAFFFE, 0xAFFFF, 0xBFFFE, 0xBFFFF, 0xCFFFE,
0xCFFFF, 0xDFFFE, 0xDFFFF, 0xEFFFE, 0xEFFFF, 0xFFFFE, 0xFFFFF,
0x10FFFE, or 0x10FFFF, or is higher than 0x10FFFF, then this is
a parse error; return a character token for the U+FFFD
REPLACEMENT CHARACTER character instead.
Otherwise, return a character token for the Unicode character
whose code point is that number.
Anything else
Consume the maximum number of characters possible, with the
consumed characters matching one of the identifiers in the first
column of the named character references table (in a
case-sensitive manner).
If no match can be made, then this is a parse error. No
characters are consumed, and nothing is returned.
If the last character matched is not a U+003B SEMICOLON (;),
there is a parse error.
If the character reference is being consumed as part of an
attribute, and the last character matched is not a U+003B
SEMICOLON (;), and the next character is in the range U+0030
DIGIT ZERO to U+0039 DIGIT NINE, U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
to U+005A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z, or U+0061 LATIN SMALL LETTER A
to U+007A LATIN SMALL LETTER Z, then, for historical reasons,
all the characters that were matched after the U+0026 AMPERSAND
(&) must be unconsumed, and nothing is returned.
Otherwise, return a character token for the character
corresponding to the character reference name (as given by the
second column of the named character references table).
If the markup contains I'm ¬it; I tell you, the character
reference is parsed as "not", as in, I'm ¬it; I tell you. But if
the markup was I'm ∉ I tell you, the character reference
would be parsed as "notin;", resulting in I'm ∉ I tell you.
