[Bug-librejs] LibreJS status

[Nate Nichols]

Hello Etienne,

Thanks for bringing this up. I was aware of this and have already migrated part of the code to the new API from the temporary solution it was using.

I'm currently working through a few bugs that I didn't anticipate. There isn't too much work left, but I've been more busy with real life than I was when I started this project.

These bugs are mainly related to the fact that it has to use a DOMParser object (because it does the difficult task of parsing HTML) to change the HTML source (which is just a string).

It can't just convert the DOM object back to a string after editing it because the source isn't preserved reliably after it is parsed. LibreJS has to get info from the DOM object and then go back and change the source. This is a delicate process, but not a huge deal.
