Stacked on #15 (MXP elements) — review that first; this branch targets main but contains its commits.

HtmlMarkup means HTML, and that stays true: Pueblo reads an HTML subset, so <b>, <pre> and <font> keep working for a Pueblo client exactly as they do now, and styling and links keep travelling as AnsiMarkup, which already writes <A XCH_CMD> for Pueblo and <SEND HREF> for MXP. Nothing existing changes — this is additive.

What had no home is the part that is Pueblo's alone, which means nothing to a browser and which an MXP client shows as text.

What it carries

Names and shapes are the Pueblo client's own, from its tag and attribute tables (uecasm/pueblo, api/ChHtmSym.cpp and the sound module) — the public documentation is long dead, so the source is the authority.

  • Pane — <xch_pane name panetitle minwidth minheight alignto scrolling options>, wrapping what goes to it. MXP's FRAME was modelled on this one.
  • Page — <xch_page clear=text|all>.
  • Mode — <img xch_mode=text|html|purehtml>.
  • MudText — <xch_mudtext>, wrapping text the client should treat as a non-HTML world's.
  • Sound, Alert, Speech — <img xch_sound=…> and its siblings, with xch_volume and xch_device.
  • Prefetch — <xch_prefetch src=…>.
  • Image — <img> carrying xch_cmd, xch_hint and xch_graph.
  • PuebloElement writes anything else.
Pueblo HTML everything else
Image the tag <img>, when the source is an absolute URL nothing
Sound, Alert, Speech the tag nothing — the file is the world's, not an address nothing
Pane the tag around its content a span around its content the content
Page, Mode, MudText, Prefetch the tag nothing nothing

Values are encoded as HTML attribute values, since that is what Pueblo reads.

Not here

The Pueblo handshake — the hello, PUEBLOCLIENT, and the sequence that moves a client into HTML — stays in the telnet layer, where TelnetNegotiationCore already owns it.

Tests

PuebloElementTests (15): every element's tag form; attribute encoding; a pane wrapping and closing; nothing — carrier included — in ANSI, plain, BBCode and MXP; the HTML equivalents and the addresses refused; a serializer round-trip; zero display width; name checking; and one asserting the other kinds are untouched (HtmlMarkup still renders <pre> into Pueblo, AnsiMarkup still writes <A XCH_CMD>). 643/643 pass in Release, and the AOT smoke app publishes clean with the new assembly rooted.

MXP defines more than styling and links -- sounds, images, gauges, status
text, frames, variables, expiring links, relocation, the login helpers and the
break hints. MxpElements builds each of them, and MxpElement writes one the
specification does not define.

An element that wraps nothing is a point in the text, carried the way a bell
is; one that wraps content marks the text it applies to. A format with no MXP
writes nothing at all, the carrier included, so one piece of text is safe to
send to every client: a terminal is sent neither a tag it would show as text
nor the zero-width space that tag rode on. A browser gets the nearest thing it
has -- an img, an audio, a span a page can draw a gauge from -- and only when
the element carries an absolute http or https URL of its own, since MXP's
FName names a file in the game's own directory that a browser cannot resolve.

Whether a client can render an element is a different question, answered by
MXP's SUPPORT exchange at the telnet layer; what to do about the answer is the
application's.

… to autoplay

WithMxp now takes a predicate carrying the answers to MXP's SUPPORT exchange.
An element the client refused is written the way a format without MXP writes
it: nothing for one that stands alone, and the content alone for one that
wraps -- which is the half that matters, since a FRAME a client cannot open
would otherwise take the text inside it somewhere nobody sees. Without a
predicate every element is written; a client that was never asked has not
refused anything.

The HTML audio element loses its autoplay attribute. The tag is standard HTML
rather than anything of Pueblo's, but a browser refuses audible autoplay until
the person has interacted with the page, so it would have played nothing and
said nothing about why. Whether it sounds is the page's decision, from the
data-mxp attribute, as it is for a bell.

HtmlMarkup means HTML, and Pueblo reads an HTML subset, so plain tags stay
where they are. What did not have a home is the part that is Pueblo's alone:
xch_pane, xch_page, xch_prefetch, xch_mudtext, the xch_sound family, the
xch_mode switches, and an img carrying xch_cmd, xch_hint or xch_graph. Names
and shapes come from the Pueblo client's own tag and attribute tables.

They render as Pueblo tags for Pueblo, as an image or a span for a browser
where one fits, and as nothing at all everywhere else -- an MXP client shows
xch_ anything as text -- with the zero-width carrier dropped too.

Nothing about the existing kinds changes: styling and links stay AnsiMarkup's,
which already writes each dialect's own form, and the Pueblo handshake stays
the telnet layer's.

The new public markup APIs can let malformed or untrusted values alter MXP or Pueblo client interpretation, and the documentation still misstates fallback behavior. These issues should be resolved before merge.

- **`MarkupString.Pueblo`, a new package: Pueblo's own extensions.** `PuebloElements` builds the
`xch_` vocabulary a Pueblo client reads — `xch_pane`, `xch_page`, `xch_prefetch`, `xch_mudtext`, the
`xch_sound`/`xch_alert`/`xch_speech` family, the `xch_mode` switches, and an `<img>` carrying
`xch_cmd`, `xch_hint` or `xch_graph` — from the client's own tag and attribute tables. They render as
Pueblo tags for `Pueblo`, as an image or a span for `Html` where one fits, and as nothing at all
everywhere else, carrier included.
- Plain HTML stays `HtmlMarkup`'s (Pueblo reads an HTML subset), and styling and links stay
`AnsiMarkup`'s, which already writes each dialect's own form. Only what is Pueblo's alone is here,
so nothing about the existing kinds changes.

Remove the obsolete autoplay attribute from this example.

The browser audio fallback no longer uses autoplay. This example tells consumers to expect output that the emitter does not produce.

See below for spec. #### MCP Scripting To aid in advanced scripting, you can query the data sent in an MCP command using the %mcp function. Specify the MCP command you are interested in, the the %mcp(command) function will return a database variable containing the fields and data last sent by the MUD for that command. For example, if the MUD sends an MCP dns-org-mud-moo-simpleedit-content command in order to locally edit a file, you could then use the zMUD command: `#SHOWDB` %mcp("dns-org-mud-moo-simpleedit-content") to display data similar to the following: ``` reference: `#72.name` name: Joe&`#39`;s name type: string content: Joe ``` As a special case, the package name "mcp-negotiate" can be used in place of the MCP command to query the list of packages supported by the current server. The result is a database variable with the Key field called "list" and the value which is the list of packages. So, for example, `#SHOWDB` %mxp("mcp-negotiate") might display: ``` list: mcp-negotiate|dns-org-mud-moo-simpleedit|dns-com-awns-ping ``` You can also create Triggers for MCP commands. In the Trigger editor, click New and in the Advanced Options, change the trigger type to: MCP. MCP Triggers are forced to match at the beginning of the MCP command string. The entire MCP command string is sent to the trigger, with the authentication string information removed for security purposes. The trigger will fire when all data for the command has been received and the MCP command has been executed. The %0 variable will contain the full database variable with the data sent by the MUD. So, for example, if you triggered on the MCP dns-org-mud-moo-simpleedit-content command shown above, you would put "dns-org-mud-moo-simpleedit-content" into the pattern field for your trigger, and in the action field, %db(%0,"name") would return "Joe&`#39`;s name", and %db(%0,"content") would return "Joe", etc. You cannot change the data of an MCP command in a trigger. You can only respond to the command and take action. #### dns-com-zuggsoft-mxp package This MCP package allows you to send an MXP command using the MCP out-of-band messages. This makes it easier for MUDs that already implement MCP to utilize MXP.

Resolve the positional file name against the U/URL base.

The documented Sound example passes https://example.test/sounds/ with door.wav. Address returns that directory URL unchanged, so WriteAudio emits a src that omits the file name. WriteImage has the same issue through the shared helper. MXP examples also pair FName with a sound directory URL. The existing HTML tests use complete resource URLs, so they do not cover this case.

Resolve the positional file name against the base, then re-check the scheme because an absolute file name overrides the base.

Validate non-null MxpArgument.Name values. The public constructor and MxpElementCodec.Read accept arbitrary names. MxpArgument.ToString() emits each name without validation or encoding, and MxpElementEmitter writes the result as MXP. A name such as X=1 Y=2 can add attributes, and a name containing > can terminate the tag and add another tag. Validate non-null argument names at the argument-model or emission boundary. Element-name validation and value escaping do not protect argument names.

Post by ulysses » Thu Apr 04, 2024 9:18 pm No reply yet from our Admins from the game&`#39`;s message boards, I will try them on live chat and also via email. I wonder if the MXP spec says what the maximum length for an entity name is?

Can we please change the title of this thread to "MXP processing hang - unescaped ampersands" - it might signpost the way for others in the future. Post by Jor&`#39`;Mox » Thu Apr 04, 2024 10:36 pm So, from what I can find about MXP [https://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/mxp.htm], it is modeled after XML, which has the following rules regarding entity usage: > https://www.w3resource.com/xml/entities.php wrote: Rules for using legal Entity Markup > > - The entity must be declared in the DTD. If you are using an XML document which is not validated against a DTD or schema, then you have to declare one within the xml document itself and this must consist the entity you are using. > - A general entity is referenced within an xml document must be surrounded by an ampersand (&) on one end and the semicolon (;) on the other (&myEntity;). > - The name of an entity must begin with a letter or underscore (_) but can contain letters, underscores, whole numbers, colons, periods and/or hyphens. > - An entity declaration cannot consist of markup that begins in the entity declaration and ends outside of it . > - A parameter entity must be declared with a preceding percent sign (%) with a white space before and after the percent sign, and it must be referenced by a percent sing with no trailing white space. A typical parameter entity declaration looks like this: So, any time you see an & that is followed by any character other than those before the arrival of a semicolon, it should be the case that it is not, in fact, an MXP entity, and can therefore be treated like plain text. In other words, it should match the following REGEX pattern if it is valid: &[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9:.\-]*; Last edited by Jor&`#39`;Mox on Sun Apr 07, 2024 2:11 pm, edited 1 time in total. Post by ulysses » Fri Apr 05, 2024 12:08 am So that rule and regex helps the case where someone has written a naked ampersand in the form of "You are standing at the intersection of Church St & University Road" but not in the case "You flick on the TV and see the closing credits to the Tom&Jerry show". It also doesn&`#39`;t help if a MUD author did try to escape the & but forgot to close it with ; - in such a case Mudlet will swallow all the output until a ; is found. According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/125 ... lSquare%20. ∳ (amp CounterClockwiseContourIntegral semi-colon) is the longest HTML entity, but of course in MXP people can define their own. It would be VERY useful here to have an upper limit. Post by Jor&`#39`;Mox » Fri Apr 05, 2024 2:46 pm Tom&Jerry would be caught by the regex I proposed, because it isn&`#39`;t followed immediately by a semicolon. Rather, there is a character outside the bounds of the class used, namely the space after the &`#39`;y&`#39`; in Jerry. So, I think that in theory, upon seeing an &, you&`#39`;d first check to see if the next character is an underscore or a letter, if so you&`#39`;d then check each following character to see if it is a letter, number, underscore, hyphen, period, or colon. If that ever fails before you reach a semicolon, then it isn&`#39`;t a valid MXP entity, and should be treated as regular text.…[truncated] <title>Bug: the Mudlet client replaces all instances of &`#39`;<&`#39`; and &`#39`;>&`#39`; with &`#39`;&lt&`#39`; and &`#39`;&gt&`#39`;</title> GitHub issue 1058 in evennia/evennia (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) > This is an issue with Mudlet reporting that it wants MXP replacement even though it apparently does not.

By defining your own elements and giving them short names, you can cause complex output formatting in only a few short characters. In addition to Elements, you can also define "Entities." Entities are like macro string replacements. For example, in HTML, the entity < indicates the < or less-than symbol. Since a normal < symbol is interpreted as the start of an element tag, you must use < to refer to a less-than symbol directly. Entities are accessed by putting a & character in front of the entity name, and terminating the name with a ; character. All of the standard HTML entities are available in MXP, including the &`#nnn`; entity to insert character /nnn into the text stream. Note that nnn values less than 32 are ignored. Of course, like in XML, you can define your own entities in MXP. MUD-defined entities work much like server variables.

Source pub fn guard_global_entity(&self, name: & str) -> Result<()> Alias for `self.entities().guard_global(name)`. See `EntityMap::guard_global`. Source pub fn is_global_entity(&self, name: & str) -> bool Alias for `self.entities().is_global(name)`. See `EntityMap::is_global`. Source pub fn entities(&self) -> & EntityMap Borrows the map of defined MXP entities. Source pub fn entities_mut(&mut self) -> &mut EntityMap Mutably borrows the map of defined MXP entities. Source pub fn get_entity(&self, name: & str) -> Option<& str> Alias for `self.entities().get(name)`. See `EntityMap::get`. Source pub fn set_entity<&`#39`;a, S: AsRef< str>>( &&`#39`;a mut self, var: & Var, value: & str, ) -> Result< Option< EntityEntry<&`#39`;a>>> Applies a ` ` action, using the specified `value` which is the text that was sent by the server in between the opening and closing tag (e.g. ` value `). Note that if `var.keywords` contains `EntityKeyword::Delete`, or if it contains `EntityKeyword::Remove` and `value` was the only value in the entity’s list, this will set the entity to `None`. Returns an error if the name is associated with a global XML entity, since those cannot be changed. Returns `None` if the entity’s `visibility` is `EntityVisibility::Private`, because private entities are hidden from the client. Otherwise, returns an `EntityEntry` whose `value` is `Some` if the entity was inserted or updated, and `None` if it was removed. As with `define`, the client can use this to keep track of entity updates, especially if the entity has `EntityVisibility::Publish`. Source pub fn published_entities(&self) -> PublishedIter<&`#39`;_> Alias for `self.entities().published()`. See `EntityMap::published`. Source pub fn get_component(&self, name: & str, secure: bool) -> Result< Component<&`#39`;_>> Retrieves a tag or element by name. Returns an error if no tag or element is defined by that name, or if the tag or element is not OPEN (see `Component::is_open`) and `secure` is false. Source pub fn get_line_tag(&self, mode: Mode) -> Option< LineTag<&`#39`;_>> Retrieves the element associated with a line tag for a specified mode, if one exists. Source pub fn custom_elements_len(&self) -> usize Returns the number of custom MXP elements that have been stored. Source pub fn custom_entities_len(&self) -> usize Returns the number of custom MXP entities that have been stored. Alias for `self.entities().len()`. See `EntityMap::len`. Source pub fn decode_entity(&self, name: & str) -> Result< DecodedEntity<&`#39`;_>> Decodes the value of an entity. Alias for `self.entities().decode(name)`. See `EntityMap::decode`. Source pub fn decode_tag<&`#39`;a>( &self, tag: & AtomicTag, args: &&`#39`;a Arguments<&`#39`;a>, ) -> Result< Action< Cow<&`#39`;a, str>>> Decodes the action of a predefined tag.

💡 Result:

<source_evidence>

<title>MUD eXtension Protocol</title> https://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/mxp.htm In addition to Elements, you can also define "Entities." Entities are like macro string replacements. For example, in HTML, the entity < indicates the < or less-than symbol. Since a normal < symbol is interpreted as the start of an element tag, you must use < to refer to a less-than symbol directly. Entities are accessed by putting a & character in front of the entity name, and terminating the name with a ; character. All of the standard HTML entities are available in MXP, including the &`#nnn`; entity to insert character /nnn into the text stream. Note that nnn values less than 32 are ignored. ... The &`#39`;Attribute-list&`#39`; allows you to define arguments or attributes for your element. You can optionally specify the attributes using the MXP command described later, or you can include them in the definition for simplicity. To create an element that would allow you to change the text color, but would default to red, you would do: ... Note that you use an attribute in the element definition by referring to it as an entity. In this case, the temporary entity &col; refers to the color attribute that is passed. The &`#39`;col=red&`#39`; defines the attribute, and gives the default value of &`#39`;red&`#39`;. When the new element is used, the name of the attribute can be omitted if you give the arguments in the same order as the definition. That is how the third example is able to work. ... #### Attributes As described in the previous section, this allows you to add attributes to elements. An attribute list specifies the name of the attribute and an optional default value. In MXP, attribute names can be eliminated from the Element if they are given in the same order that they are defined. ... To define attributes, simply list the names of the attributes in the order that you want. To add an optional default, use the syntax =Default after the attribute name. For example the command: ... ``` <!ATTL ... Specifies the attribute list for the &`#39`;boldtext&`#39`; element. The first argument is called &`#39`;color&`#39`; and has a default value of &`#39`;red&`#39`;. The second argument is called &`#39`;background&`#39`; and has a default value of &`#39`;white&`#39`;. The third argument is called &`#39`;flags&`#39`; and has no default value. ... Note that you can specify the attribute list using the ATT=&`#39`;list&`#39`; argument in the definition. Because of this, there is little use for the command except for modifying the argument list on-the-fly without changing the original definition. ... You can omit some parameters using "" to specify the default, or mix attribute names in: ... Note the "" to specify the default for the V attribute. The P and U attributes also take their defaults since they are not specified at all. The T= overrides the parsing and tells MXP that the following value is for the T attribute instead of the P attribute that it was expecting at that position in the element. ... #### Entities Entities in MXP are used to store information from the MUD (MUD Variables). Once an entity is defined, you can reference it&`#39`;s value using the &Name; syntax. For example: ... Tags can be included within entities. Unlike in XML, tags can be broken across entities within MXP as long as when all entities on a line from the MUD are expanded, all of the tags are properly closed (or MXP will close the dangling tags for you). So, the following is valid in MXP: ... Also note that as in XML, entities are case sensitive, so &Start; is different than &start;. Unlike XML, entities can be used anywhere in MXP, even within other tags. However, if an external entity has the same name as an attribute, the attribute within a tag takes precedence. ... separated by the | character ... Security Note: Entities are marked as to whether they are created by the MUD or created interactively by the user. The user cannot override Entites sent from the MUD. The user is only allowed to override user-defined enti…[truncated]

Escape MXP delimiters in argument values.

MxpArgument.ToString() leaves > unquoted and raw. MxpElement.ToString() appends it directly to the tag, so caller-controlled values can terminate the current tag and inject MXP syntax. For example, MxpElements.Stat("hp", caption: "x><SEND") can render <STAT hp CAPTION=x><SEND>. Encode <, > and & as MXP entities, and encode them inside quoted values.

Validate MxpElement.Name at the public construction boundary.

Read accepts invalid names, and MxpElementEmitter writes them directly into MXP tag syntax. The proposed codec-only check does not protect callers that use the public MxpElement constructor. Validate Name during public construction. Retain the codec check if malformed JSON must raise JsonException. MxpHtmlEmitter does not emit unrecognized names as HTML tags.

Enforce the name invariant during PuebloElement construction.

The public record constructors accept names with markup delimiters. PuebloElement.ToString() and PuebloElementEmitter write those names as Pueblo syntax, so direct construction or PuebloElementCodec.Read can emit additional Pueblo attributes or tags.

Validate the element name and every attribute name in the PuebloElement construction path with IsValidName. Make PuebloElementCodec.Read use that validation so invalid serialized input is rejected. Add regression tests for direct construction and codec input with delimiter characters. PuebloHtmlEmitter is not an HTML-injection path because it writes fixed tags and HTML-encodes dynamic attribute values.

Html, Mxp and Pueblo cover one space between them -- markup written as tags in
the stream, where Ansi writes escape sequences -- and the guides now say so.
The packages keep their own names, because the dialects are not
interchangeable: a Pueblo command link is <A XCH_CMD>, an MXP one is
<SEND HREF>, and each client shows the other's as text. A reader picking a
package still reads what it renders.

Added the collective term: the README and guides now call Html, Mxp and Pueblo the tag dialects — markup written as tags in the stream, against Ansi's escape sequences — and each package README says which of the three it is.

Docs only, no new package. The three keep their own names because they are not interchangeable, which is the thing the split exists to make obvious.

Clarify that dialect-specific tags are not interchangeable, while shared HTML tags remain supported.

Both package READMEs currently say that no dialect reads another's tags. That absolute statement conflicts with the documented shared HTML subset and common HTML tags.

  • MarkupString.Mxp/README.md#L29-L29: limit the claim to MXP-specific and Pueblo-specific vocabularies.
  • MarkupString.Pueblo/README.md#L14-L14: apply the same wording and preserve the documented HTML subset.

The shared HTML behavior is documented in MarkupString.Html/README.md and MarkupString.Pueblo/README.md.

Superseded by #18: the per-dialect element API is replaced by one shared vocabulary that MXP, Pueblo, HTML and the terminal each write their own way. The Pueblo vocabulary here also had the sound, speech and prefetch syntax wrong against the client source; the replacement corrects it.
