Understanding html input plugin

Can someone point me to the documentation or source for the html input plugin? I need to understand better what it is doing. Sorry for the stupid questions, but I am learning as I go. Deeply appreciative that Calibre exists and of what it does. Fred

Look for plugins/html_input.py in the source code.

So it looks to me that the function doing all the file rewriting is rewrite_links which is defined in base.py and removes all absolute links. Then it looks for a CSS file and cssutils parses that. Is this broadly correct?


Code:
def rewrite_links(root, link_repl_func, resolve_base_href=False):
    '''
    Rewrite all the links in the document.  For each link
    ``link_repl_func(link)`` will be called, and the return value
    will replace the old link.

    Note that links may not be absolute (unless you first called
    ``make_links_absolute()``), and may be internal (e.g.,
    ``'#anchor'``).  They can also be values like
    ``'mailto:email'`` or ``'javascript:expr'``.

    If the ``link_repl_func`` returns None, the attribute or
    tag text will be removed completely.
    '''
    from cssutils import parseString, parseStyle, replaceUrls, log
    log.setLevel(logging.WARN)

    if resolve_base_href:
        resolve_base_href(root)
    for el, attrib, link, pos in iterlinks(root, find_links_in_css=False):
        new_link = link_repl_func(link.strip())
        if new_link == link:
            continue
        if new_link is None:
            # Remove the attribute or element content
            if attrib is None:
                el.text = ''
            else:
                del el.attrib[attrib]
            continue
        if attrib is None:
            new = el.text[:pos] + new_link + el.text[pos+len(link):]
            el.text = new
        else:
            cur = el.attrib[attrib]
            if not pos and len(cur) == len(link):
                # Most common case
                el.attrib[attrib] = new_link
            else:
                new = cur[:pos] + new_link + cur[pos+len(link):]
                el.attrib[attrib] = new

    def set_property(v):
        if v.CSS_PRIMITIVE_VALUE == v.cssValueType and \
           v.CSS_URI == v.primitiveType:
                v.setStringValue(v.CSS_URI,
                        link_repl_func(v.getStringValue()))

    for el in root.iter():
        try:
            tag = el.tag
        except UnicodeDecodeError:
            continue

        if tag == XHTML('style') and el.text and \
                (_css_url_re.search(el.text) is not None or '@import' in

That is the resolving of linked resources, yes. You are probably more interested in HTML parsing. Look at parse_utils.py and preprocess.py for that.
