Introduction</span><a class=section-link href=#intro>§</a></h2>
<p> <em>This section is not normative.</em>
<p> This module defines the abstract syntax and parsing of CSS stylesheets
and other things which use CSS syntax
(such as the HTML <code>style</code> attribute).
<p> It defines algorithms for converting a stream of codepoints
(in other words, text)
into a stream of CSS tokens,
and then further into CSS objects
such as stylesheets, rules, and declarations.
<h3 data-level=1.1 id=placement><span class=secno>1.1 </span><span class=content>
Module interactions</span><a class=section-link href=#placement>§</a></h3>
<p> This module defines the syntax and parsing of CSS stylesheets.
It supersedes the lexical scanner and grammar defined in CSS 2.1.
<h2 data-level=2 id=syntax-description><span class=secno>2 </span><span class=content>
Description of CSS's Syntax</span><a class=section-link href=#syntax-description>§</a></h2>
<p> <em>This section is not normative.</em>
<p> A CSS document is a series of <a href=#qualified-rule>qualified rules</a>,
which are usually style rules that apply CSS properties to elements,
and <a href=#at-rule>at-rules</a>,
which define special processing rules or values for the CSS document.
<p> A qualified rule starts with a prelude
then has a {}-wrapped block containing a sequence of declarations.
The meaning of the prelude varies based on the context that the rule appears in -
for style rules, it's a selector which specifies what elements the declarations will apply to.
Each declaration has a name,
followed by a colon and the declaration value.
Declarations are separated by semicolons.
<div class=example>
<p> A typical rule might look something like this:
<pre> p > a {
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
}
</pre>
<p> In the above rule, "<code>p > a</code>" is the selector,
which, if the source document is HTML,
selects any <code><a></code> elements that are children of a <code><p></code> element.
<p> "<code>color: blue;</code>" is a declaration specifying that,
for the elements that match the selector,
their <a class=property data-autolink=property title=color>color</a> property should have the value <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>blue</span>.
Similiarly, their <a class=property data-autolink=property title=text-decoration>text-decoration</a> property should have the value <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>underline</span>.
</div>
<p> At-rules are all different, but they have a basic structure in common.
They start with an "@" character followed by their name.
Some <a href=#at-rule>at-rules</a> are simple statements,
with their name followed by more CSS values to specify their behavior,
and finally ended by a semicolon.
Others are blocks;
they can have CSS values following their name,
but they end with a {}-wrapped block,
similar to a <a href=#qualified-rule>qualified rule</a>.
Even the contents of these blocks are specific to the given <a href=#at-rule>at-rule</a>:
sometimes they contain a sequence of declarations, like a <a href=#qualified-rule>qualified rule</a>;
other times, they may contain additional blocks, or at-rules, or other structures altogether.
<div class=example>
<p> Here are several examples of <a href=#at-rule>at-rules</a> that illustrate the varied syntax they may contain.
<pre>@import "my-styles.css";</pre>
<p> The <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>@import</span> <a href=#at-rule>at-rule</a> is a simple statement.
After its name, it takes a single string or <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>url()</span> function to indicate the stylesheet that it should import.
<pre> @page :left {
margin-left: 4cm;
margin-right: 3cm;
}
</pre>
<p> The <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>@page</span> <a href=#at-rule>at-rule</a> consists of an optional page selector (the <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>:left</span> pseudoclass),
followed by a block of properties that apply to the page when printed.
In this way, it's very similar to a normal style rule,
except that its properties don't apply to any "element",
but rather the page itself.
<pre> @media print {
body { font-size: 10pt }
}
</pre>
<p> The <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>@media</span> <a href=#at-rule>at-rule</a> begins with a media type
and a list of optional media queries.
Its block contains entire rules,
which are only applied when the <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>@media</span>s conditions are fulfilled.
</div>
<p> Property names and <a href=#at-rule>at-rule</a> names are always <b>identifiers</b>,
which have to start with a letter or a hyphen followed by a letter,
and then can contain letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores.
You can include any character at all,
even ones that CSS uses in its syntax,
by <a href=#escaping0>escaping</a> it.
<p> The syntax of selectors is defined in the <a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors/>Selectors spec</a>.
Similarly, the syntax of the wide variety of CSS values is defined in the <a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/>Values & Units spec</a>.
The special syntaxes of individual <a href=#at-rule>at-rules</a> can be found in the specs that define them.
<h3 data-level=2.1 id=escaping><span class=secno>2.1 </span><span class=content>
Escaping</span><a class=section-link href=#escaping>§</a></h3>
<p> <em>This section is not normative.</em>
<p> Any Unicode character can be included in an identifier or quoted string
by <dfn data-dfn-type=link id=escaping0>escaping</dfn> it.
CSS escape sequences start with a backslash (\), and continue with:
<p> <ul>
<li>
Any Unicode character that is not a <a href=#hex-digit>hex digits</a> or a <a href=#newline>newline</a>.
The escape sequence is replaced by that character.
<li>
Or one to six <a href=#hex-digit>hex digits</a>, followed by an optional <a href=#whitespace>whitespace</a>.
The escape sequence is replaced by the Unicode character
whose codepoint number is given by the hexadecimal digits.
This optional whitespace allow hexadecimal escape sequences
to be followed by "real" hex digits.
<p class=example>
An identifier with the value "&B"
could be written as <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>\26 B</span> or <span class=css data-autolink=maybe>\000026B</span>.
<p class=note>
A "real" space after the escape sequence must be doubled.
</ul>
<h3 data-level=2.2 id=error-handling><span class=secno>2.2 </span><span class=content>
Error Handling</span><a class=section-link href=#error-handling>§</a></h3>
<p> <em>This section is not normative.</em>
<p> When errors occur in CSS,
the parser attempts to recover gracefully,
throwing away only the minimum amount of content
before returning to parsing as normal.
This is because errors aren't always mistakes -
new syntax looks like an error to an old parser,
and it's useful to be able to add new syntax to the language
without worrying about stylesheets that include it being completely broken in older UAs.
<p> The precise error-recovery behavior is detailed in the parser itself,
but it's simple enough that a short description is fairly accurate:
<p> <ul>
<li>
At the "top level" of a stylesheet,
an 〈at-keyword〉 starts an at-rule.
Anything else starts a qualified rule,
and is included in the rule's prelude.
This may produce an invalid selector,
but that's not the concern of the CSS parser —
at worst, it means the selector will match nothing.
<li>
Once an at-rule starts,
nothing is invalid from the parser's standpoint;
it's all part of the at-rule's prelude.
Encountering a semicolon 〈;〉 ends the at-rule immediately,
while encountering an opening curly-brace 〈{〉 starts the at-rule's body.
The at-rule seeks forward, matching blocks (content surrounded by (), {}, or [])
until it finds a closing curly-brace 〈}〉 that isn't matched by anything else
or inside of another block.
The contents of the at-rule are then interpreted according to the at-rule's own grammar.
<li>
Qualified rules work similarly,
except that semicolons don't end them;
instead, they are just taken in as part of the rule's prelude.
When the first {} block is found,
the contents are always interpreted as a list of declarations.
<li>
When interpreting a list of declarations,
unknown syntax at any point causes the parser to throw away whatever declaration it's currently building,
and seek forward until it finds a semicolon (or the end of the block).
It then starts fresh, trying to parse a declaration again.
<li>
If the stylesheet ends while any rule, declaration, function, string, etc. are still open,
everything is automatically closed.
This doesn't make them invalid,
though they may be incomplete
and thus thrown away when they are verified against their grammar.
</ul>
<h2 data-level=3 id=tokenizing-and-parsing-css><span class=secno>3 </span><span class=content>
Tokenizing and Parsing CSS</span><a class=section-link href=#tokenizing-and-parsing-css>§</a></h2>
<p> User agents must use the parsing rules described in this specification
to generate the CSSOM trees from text/css resources.
Together, these rules define what is referred to as the CSS parser.
<p> This specification defines the parsing rules for CSS documents,
whether they are syntactically correct or not.
Certain points in the parsing algorithm are said to be a <dfn data-dfn-type=link id=parse-errors title="parse error">parse errors</dfn>.
The error handling for parse errors is well-defined:
user agents must either act as described below when encountering such problems,
or must abort processing at the first error that they encounter for which they do not wish to apply the rules described below.
<p> Conformance checkers must report at least one parse error condition to the user
if one or more parse error conditions exist in the document
and must not report parse error conditions
if none exist in the document.
Conformance checkers may report more than one parse error condition if more than one parse error condition exists in the document.
Conformance checkers are not required to recover from parse errors,
but if they do,
they must recover in the same way as user agents.
<h3 data-level=3.1 id=overview-of-the-parsing-model><span class=secno>3.1 </span><span class=content>
Overview of the Parsing Model</span><a class=section-link href=#overview-of-the-parsing-model>§</a></h3>
<p> The input to the CSS parsing process consists of a stream of Unicode code points,
which is passed through a tokenization stage followed by a tree construction stage.
The output is a CSSStyleSheet object.
<p class=note> Note: Implementations that do not support scripting do not have to actually create a CSSOM CSSStyleSheet object,
but the CSSOM tree in such cases is still used as the model for the rest of the specification.
<h3 data-level=3.2 id=the-input-byte-stream><span class=secno>3.2 </span><span class=content>
The input byte stream</span><a class=section-link href=#the-input-byte-stream>§</a></h3>
<p> When parsing a stylesheet,
the stream of Unicode code points that comprises the input to the tokenization stage may be initially seen by the user agent as a stream of bytes
(typically coming over the network or from the local file system).
The bytes encode the actual characters according to a particular character encoding,
which the user agent must use to decode the bytes into characters.
<p> To decode the stream of bytes into a stream of characters,
UAs must follow these steps.
<p> The algorithms to <a href=http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-encoding-get><dfn data-dfn-type=link id=get-an-encoding>get an encoding</dfn></a>
and <a href=http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#decode><dfn data-dfn-type=link id=decode>decode</dfn></a>
are defined in the <a href=http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/>Encoding Standard</a>.
<p> First, <dfn data-dfn-type=link id=determine-the-fallback-encoding>determine the fallback encoding</dfn>:
<ol>
<li>
If HTTP or equivalent protocol defines an encoding (e.g. via the charset parameter of the Content-Type header),
<a href=#get-an-encoding>get an encoding</a> for the specified value.
If that does not return failure,
use the return value as the fallback encoding.
<li>
Otherwise, check the byte stream. If the first several bytes match the hex sequence
<pre>40 63 68 61 72 73 65 74 20 22 (not 22)* 22 3B</pre>
<p> then <a href=#get-an-encoding>get an encoding</a> for the sequence of <code>(not 22)*</code> bytes,
decoded per <code>windows-1252</code>.
<p class=note> Note: Anything ASCII-compatible will do, so using <code>windows-1252</code> is fine.
<p class=note> Note: The byte sequence above,
when decoded as ASCII,
is the string "<code>@charset "…";</code>",
where the "…" is the sequence of bytes corresponding to the encoding's name.
<p> If the return value was <code>utf-16</code> or <code>utf-16be</code>,
use <code>utf-8</code> as the fallback encoding;
if it was anything else except failure,
use the return value as the fallback encoding.
<p class=note> Note: This mimics HTML <code><meta></code> behavior.
<li>
Otherwise, <a href=#get-an-encoding>get an encoding</a> for the value of the <code>charset</code> attribute on the <code><link></code> element or <code><?xml-stylesheet?></code> processing instruction that caused the style sheet to be included, if any.
If that does not return failure,
use the return value as the fallback encoding.
<li>
Otherwise, if the referring style sheet or document has an encoding,
use that as the fallback encoding.
<li>
Otherwise, use <code>utf-8</code> as the fallback encoding.
</ol>
<p> Then, <a href=#decode>decode</a> the byte stream using the fallback encoding.
<p class=note> Note: the <a href=#decode>decode</a> algorithm lets the byte order mark (BOM) take precedence,
hence the usage of the term "fallback" above.
<p class=issue>
Anne says that steps 3/4 should be an input to this algorithm from the specs that define importing stylesheet,
to make the algorithm as a whole cleaner.
Perhaps abstract it into the concept of an "environment charset" or something?
<p class=issue>
Should we only take the charset from the referring document if it's same-origin?
<h3 data-level=3.3 id=preprocessing-the-input-stream><span class=secno>3.3 </span><span class=content>
Preprocessing the input stream</span><a class=section-link href=#preprocessing-the-input-stream>§</a></h3>
<p> The input stream consists of the characters (individual unicode code-points)
pushed into it as the input byte stream is decoded.
<p> Before sending the input stream to the tokenizer,
implementations must make the following character substitutions:
<p> <ul>
<li>
Replace any U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) characters,
U+000C FORM FEED (FF) characters,
or pairs of U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) followed by U+000A LINE FEED (LF)
by a single U+000A LINE FEED (LF) character.
<li>
Replace any U+0000 NULL characters with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (�).
</ul>
<h2 data-level=4 id=tokenization><span class=secno>4 </span><span class=content>
Tokenization</span><a class=section-link href=#tokenization>§</a></h2>
<p> Implementations must act as if they used the following algorithms to tokenize CSS.
To transform a stream of characters into a stream of tokens,
repeatedly <a href=#consume-a-token0>consume a token</a>
until an 〈EOF〉 is reached,
collecting the returned tokens into a stream.
Each call to the <a href=#consume-a-token0>consume a token</a> algorithm
returns a single token,
so it can also be used "on-demand" to tokenize a stream of characters <em>during</em> parsing,
if so desired.
<p> The output of the tokenization step is a stream of zero or more of the following tokens:
〈ident〉,
〈function〉,
〈at-keyword〉,
〈hash〉,
〈string〉,
〈bad-string〉,
〈url〉,
〈bad-url〉,
〈delim〉,
〈number〉,
〈percentage〉,
〈dimension〉,
〈unicode-range〉,
〈include-match〉,
〈dash-match〉,
〈prefix-match〉,
〈suffix-match〉,
〈substring-match〉,
〈column〉,
〈whitespace〉,
〈CDO〉,
〈CDC〉,
〈colon〉,
〈semicolon〉,
〈comma〉,
〈[〉,
〈]〉,
〈(〉,
〈)〉,
〈{〉,
and 〈}〉.
<p> <ul>
<li>
〈ident〉, 〈function〉, 〈at-keyword〉, 〈hash〉, 〈string〉, and 〈url〉 tokens have a value composed of zero or more characters.
Additionally, hash tokens have a type flag set to either "id" or "unrestricted". The type flag defaults to "unrestricted" if not otherwise set.
<li>
〈delim〉 tokens have a value composed of a single character.
<li>
〈number〉, 〈percentage〉, and 〈dimension〉 tokens have a representation composed of one or more character, and a numeric value.
〈number〉 and 〈dimension〉 tokens additionally have a type flag set to either "integer" or "number". The type flag defaults to "integer" if not otherwise set.
〈dimension〉 tokens additionally have a unit composed of one or more characters.
<li>
〈unicode-range〉 tokens have a range of characters.
</ul>
<p class=note> Note: The type flag of hash tokens is used in the Selectors syntax <a data-autolink=biblio data-biblio-type=informative href=#select title=SELECT>[SELECT]</a>.
Only hash tokens with the "id" type are valid <a href=http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors/#id-selectors>ID selectors</a>.
<p class=note> Note: As a technical note,
the tokenizer defined here requires only three characters of look-ahead.
The tokens it produces are designed to allow Selectors to be parsed with one token of look-ahead,
and additional tokens may be added in the future to maintain this invariant.

Token Railroad Diagrams</span><a class=section-link href=#token-diagrams>§</a></h3>
<p> <em>This section is non-normative.</em>
<p> This section presents an informative view of the tokenizer,
in the form of railroad diagrams.
Railroad diagrams are more compact than an explicit parser,
but often easier to read than an regular expression.
<p> These diagrams are <em>informative</em> and <em>incomplete</em>;
they describe the grammar of "correct" tokens,
but do not describe error-handling at all.
They are provided solely to make it easier to get an intuitive grasp of the syntax of each token.
<p> Diagrams with names between 〈〉 brackets represent tokens.
The rest are productions referred to by other diagrams.
