[Seaside] How to think about "Unicode spew"

Thu Feb 13 20:27:17 UTC 2020

Hi Folks.

Over at http://menmachinesmaterials.com/WikitextParser  ***

When hitting HamburgerIcon->Database->Random Page   I occasionally get what
I call "Unicode spew"

Here is a portion of a page.
*<�!DOCTYPE html><�html class="no-js" lang="en"
dir="ltr"><�head><�title>WikitextParser<�/title><�meta
charset="utf-8"/><�link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/files/WADevelopmentFiles/development.css"/>...*

However, on the image, if I run the page manually, the resulting XMLElement
looks just fine.

Here is the thing that caused the spew.

*<body> Thierry IV or Theoderic IV ({{circa}} 720{{spaced ndash}}c. 782)
was a Frankish <https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franks> noble. Count of 
Autun <https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autun> and Toulouse
<https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulouse> ; he was thought to be a son of 
Sigebert V <https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigebert_V> , and grandson of 
Sigebert IV of Raze <https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigebert_IV_of_Raze> .
It is now well documented that his supposed Davidic blood was a hoax (see 
Priory of Sion <https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priory_of_Sion> ). Thierry
married Auda <https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auda_of_France> , daughter of 
Charles Martel <https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Martel> , sister of 
Pepin III <https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepin_III> .

{{France-noble-stub}}</body>*

The method that posts the output is straightforward enough:

*renderParsedOn: html
	| wikiGrammar wikiParser input  actor|

	actor := PEGWikiMediaGeneratorTables new.
	actor transcripton  
		ifTrue:[	Transcript clear].

	wikicode isNil
		ifTrue:[input := '== Welcome To WikitextParserBrowser ==']
		ifFalse:[input := wikicode].

	wikiGrammar := PEGParser grammarWikiMediaTables reading positioning. 
	wikiParser := PEGParser parserPEG parse: 'Grammar' stream: wikiGrammar
actor: PEGParserParser new.
	[[output := wikiParser parse: 'Page' stream: input actor: actor. ]
		on: Error
		do:[:ex | output := '
 Error parsing. see Wikicode tab for source 
']]
			ensure:[
					output := ((output  asString copyReplaceAll: '<body>' with:'' )
copyReplaceTokens:'</body>' with:'') .
					output := (output  asString copyReplaceAll: '>' with:'>'
asTokens:false).
					output := (output  asString copyReplaceAll: '<' with:'<'
asTokens:false)].
	html break;break.								
	html html: output.

*

Is there something I should be doing to "output" to make the garbage go
away?

thanks in advance
