Sciter HTML parsing flavour

HTML parser in Sciter v.3 supports attribute shortcuts allowing to write HTML in more compact form. Compare these two declarations that are identical (to the Sciter):

Compact:

 
  <input|currency(itemPrice) value=1000> 

and standard:

 
  <input type="currency" name="itemPrice" value=1000> 

As you see the first one is slightly shorter and better readable (subjective of course).

Here is full list of supported attribute shortcuts:

• #name – id, attribute name that starts from ‘#’ is parsed as id=”name”
• .name – class, this is an equivalent of class="name". Element may have multiple “dot attributes”. All of them are combined into single class attribute. So this <div.container.collapsed> is treated as this: <div class=”container collapsed”>
• |name – type, attribute name that starts from ‘|’ is parsed as type="name"
• (someName) – name, attribute name enclosed into ‘(‘ and ‘)’ is parsed as name="someName"

Just in case 🙂
