[webkit-dev] Introducing dumpAsMarkup

Mon Jul 26 15:12:50 PDT 2010

That looks similar to the dom2string library from HTML5lib.
dom2string makes DOM dumps that look like the following:

<!DOCTYPE html><li>hello<li>world<ul>how<li>do</ul>you</body><!--do-->

| <!DOCTYPE html>
| <html>
|   <head>
|   <body>
|     <li>
|       "hello"
|     <li>
|       "world"
|       <ul>
|         "how"
|         <li>
|           "do"
|       "you"
|   <!-- do -->

It lets you see all the whitespace nodes and has special handling to
show you elements in the MathML and SVG namespaces.

There's probably no need to standardize on one of dumping the DOM, but
I thought you might be interested.
