#ZegnatThanks to sknebel for pushing me to actually sit down and do this. He and I have gone over the WHATWG innerText algorithm and the W3C CSS Text Module together, and have written two independent implementations for getting plain text from HTML (PHP and Python).
#Loqi[Zegnat] php-innertext: 🏃🐉 Run. Here be dragons.
#ZegnatWe might want to make more tests (although test coverage is actually pretty good! Over 90%!) and discuss a few specific things (do we want to implement tables? how many line breaks after paragraph elements?)
#ZegnatAnd then I think we can start moving to getting this into the parsers. Because it treats block level elements etc all in one step it is a lot more generic than the previous algorithm.
#Zegnatis off to think about something else than collapsible whitespace for a little bit
