But if plugins want to parse html or xml using lxml directly, the relevant functions are safe_xml_fromstring and safe_html_fromstring from the calibre.utils.xml_parse module. And if they really, really want to use RECOVER_PARSER then can simply define it themselves as
Code:
from lxml import etree
RECOVER_PARSER = etree.XMLParser(recover=True, no_network=True, resolve_entities=False)
Note that I strongly recommend against using RECOVER_PARSER as it is fundamentally broken thanks to the bug in lxml linked to above. |
Checking some plugin, RECOVER_PARSER is not used for parsing html (it uses parse_html in that case) but for parsing xml. Is there any calibre function for that?
