Ah, that makes sense; thank you for the clarification! I had refactored my code with my own HTML parsing module which
Is this along the lines of what you mean? I imagine it will make sense too with Chapter 2, I probably refactored too early. |

Ah, neat! Thank you for sharing, that's super useful to realize. So web developers just need to be taught this semantic meaning more these days :) And feel free to take the wakka name! I can't take credit for it; but it's one of my favorites. |

In Chapter 1's Exercise:
view-source: In addition to HTTP and HTTPS, there are other schemes, such as view-source; navigating in a real browser to view-source:http://browser.engineering/http.html shows the HTML source of this chapter rather than its rendered output. Add support for the view-source scheme. Your browser should print the entire HTML file as if it was text. Hint: To do so, you can utilize the entities from the previous exercise, and add an extra transform() method that adjusts the input to show() when in view-source mode, like this: show(transform(body))
the Hint is a bit confusing. Is there an expected difference of output here compared to just printing a plain text response of the raw HTML content? Not sure where encodings /
transformwould be useful given an input of raw HTML, unless the exercise is implying HTML validation as well prior to outputting theview-sourcecontent (in which case, that would make sense but it's unclear at this step). Inspecting theview-sourceoutput in my browser (Chrome on Mac OSX) does show a<table>rendering of the source HTML, but I believe this is a browser default (not a good use of<table>in my opinion...), and plain text output seems sufficient.Beta Was this translation helpful?
