/**
\brief Parses messages and generates HTML display code out of them
 
\par Introduction
 
First, have a look at the documentation in Mainpage.dox and at the documentation of ViewerPrivate
to understand the broader picture.
 
Just a note on the terminology: 'Node' refers to a MIME part here, which in KMime is a
KMime::Content.
 
\par Basics
 
The ObjectTreeParser basically has two modes: Generating the HTML code for the Viewer, or only
extracting the plainTextContent() for situations where only the message text is needed, for example
when inline forwarding a message. The mode depends on the Interface::ObjectTreeSource passed to the
constructor: If Interface::ObjectTreeSource::htmlWriter() is not 0, then the HTML code generation mode is
used.
 
Basically, all the ObjectTreeParser does is going through the tree of MIME parts and operating on
those nodes. Operating here means creating the HTML code for the node or extracting the textual
content from it. This process is started with parseObjectTree(), where we loop over the subnodes
of the current root node. For each of those subnodes, we try to find a BodyPartFormatter that can
handle the type of the node. This can either be an internal function, such as
processMultiPartAlternativeSubtype() or processTextHtmlSubtype(), or it can be an external plugin.
More on external plugins later. When no matching formatter is found, defaultHandling() is called
for that node.
 
\par Multipart Nodes
 
Those nodes that are of type multipart have subnodes. If one of those children needs to be
processed normally, the processMultipartXXX() functions call stdChildHandling() for the node that
should be handled normally. stdChildHandling() creates its own ObjectTreeParser, which is a clone
of the current ObjectTreeParser, and processes the node. stdChildHandling() is not called for all
children of the multipart node, for example processMultiPartAlternativeSubtype() only calls it on
one of the children, as the other one doesn't need to be displayed. Similarly,
processMultiPartSignedSubtype() doesn't call stdChildHandling() for the signature node, only for the
signed node.
 
\par Processed and Unprocessed Nodes
 
When a BodyPartFormatter has finished processing a node, it is processed. Nodes are set to being
not processed at the beginning of parseObjectTree(). The processed state of a node is saved in a
list in NodeHelper, see NodeHelper::setNodeProcessed(), NodeHelper::nodeProcessed() and the other
related helper functions.
 
It is the responsibility of the BodyPartFormatter to correctly call setNodeProcessed() and the
related functions. This is important so that processing the same node twice can be prevented. The
check that prevents duplicate processing is in parseObjectTree().
 
An example where duplicate processing would happen if we didn't check for it is in stdChildHandling(),
which is for example called from processMultiPartAlternativeSubtype(). Let's say the setting is to
prefer HTML over plain text. In this case, processMultiPartAlternativeSubtype() would call
stdChildHandling() on the HTML node, which would create a new ObjectTreeParser and call
parseObjectTree() on it. parseObjectTree() processes the node and all its siblings, and one of the
siblings is the plain text node, which shouldn't be processed! Therefore
processMultiPartAlternativeSubtype() sets the plain text node as been processed already.
 
\par Plain Text Output
 
Various nodes have plain text that should be displayed. This plain text is usually processed though
writeBodyString() first. That method checks if the provided text is an inline PGP text and decrypts
it if necessary. It also pushes the text through quotedHTML(), which does a number of things like
coloring quoted lines or detecting links and creating real link tags for them.
 
\par Modifying the Message
 
The ObjectTreeParser does not only parse its message, in some circumstances it also modifies it
before displaying. This is for example the case when displaying a decrypted message: The original
message only contains a binary blob of crypto data, and processMultiPartEncryptedSubtype() decrypts
that blob. After decryption, the current node is replaced with the decrypted node, which happens
in insertAndParseNewChildNode().
 
\par Crypto Operations
 
For signature and decryption handling, there are functions which help with generating the HTML code
for the signature header and footer. These are writeDeferredDecryptionBlock(), writeSigstatFooter()
and writeSigstatHeader(). As the name writeDeferredDecryptionBlock() suggests, a setting can cause
the message to not be decrypted unless the user clicks a link. Whether the message should be
decrypted or not can be controlled by Interface::ObjectTreeSource::decryptMessage(). When the user clicks the
decryption link, the URLHandler for 'kmail:' URLs sets that variable to true and triggers an update
of the Viewer, which will cause parseObjectTree() to be called again.
 
\par Async Crypto Operations
 
The above case describes decryption the message in place. However, decryption and also verifying of
the signature can take a long time, so synchronous decryption and verifying would cause the Viewer to
block. Therefore it is possible to run these operations in async mode, see allowAsync().
In the first run of the async mode, all the ObjectTreeParser does is starting the decrypt or the
verify job, and informing the user that the operation is in progress with
writeDecryptionInProgressBlock() or with writeSigstatHeader(). Then, it creates and associates a
BodyPartMemento with the current node, for example a VerifyDetachedBodyPartMemento. Each node can
have multiple mementos associated with it, which are differeniated by name.
 
NodeHelper::setBodyPartMemento() and NodeHelper::bodyPartMemento() provide means to store and
retrieve these mementos. A memento is basically a thin wrapper around the crypto job, it stores the
job pointer, the job input data and the job result. Mementos can be used for any async situation,
not just for crypto jobs, but I'll describe crypto jobs here.
 
So in the first run of decrypting or verifying a message, the BodyPartFormatter only starts the
crypto job, creates the BodyPartMemento and writes the HTML code that tells the user that the
operation is in progress. parseObjectTree() thus finishes without waiting for anything, and the
message is displayed.
 
At some point, the crypto jobs then finish, which will cause slotResult() of the BodyPartMemento
to be called. slotResult() then saves the result to some member variable and calls
BodyPartMemento::notify(), which in the end will trigger an update of the Viewer. That update
will, in ViewerPrivate::parseMsg(), create a new ObjectTreeParser and call parseObjectTree() on it.
This is where the second run begins.
 
The functions that deal with decrypting of verifying, like processMultiPartSignedSubtype() or
processMultiPartEncryptedSubtype() will look if they find a BodyPartMemento that is associated with
the current node. Now it finds that memento, since it was created in the first run. It checks if the
memento's job has finished, and if so, the result can be written out (either the decrypted data or
the verified signature).
 
When dealing with encrypted nodes, new nodes are created with the decrypted data. It is important to
note that the original MIME tree is never modified, and remains the same as the original one. The method
createAndParseTempNode is called with the newly decrypted data, and it generates a new temporary node to
store the decrypted data. When these nodes are created, it is important to keep track of them as otherwise
some mementos that are added to the newly created temporary nodes will be constantly regenerated. As the
regeneration triggers a viewer update when complete, it results in an infinite refresh loop. The function
NodeHelper::linkAsPermanentDecrypted will create a link between the newly created node and the original parent.
Conversely, the function NodeHelper::attachExtraContent will create a link in the other direction, from the parent
node to the newly created temporary node.
 
When generating some mementos for nodes that may be temporary nodes (for example, contact photo mementos), the
function NodeHelper::setBodyPartMementoForPermanentParent is used. This will save the given body part memento for
the closest found permanent parent node, rather than the transient node itself. Then when checking for the existence
of a certain memento in a node, NodeHelper::findPermanentParentBodyPartMemento will check to see if any parent of the
given temporary node is a permanent (encrypted) node that has been used to generate the asked-for node.
 
To conclude: For async operations, parseObjectTree() is called twice: The first call starts the
crypto operation and creates the BodyPartMemento, the second calls sees that the BodyPartMemento is
there and can use its result for writing out the HTML.
 
\par PartMetaData and ProcessResult
 
For crypto operations, the class PartMetaData is used a lot, mainly to pass around info about the
crypto state of a node. A PartMetaData can also be associated with a node by using
NodeHelper::setPartMetaData(). The only user of that however is MessageAnalyzer::processPart() of
the Nepomuk E-Mail Feeder, which also uses the ObjectTreeParser to analyze the message.
 
You'll notice that a ProcessResult is passed to each formatter. The formatter is supposed to modify
the ProcessResult to tell the callers something about the state of the nodes that were processed.
One example for its use is to tell the caller about the crypto state of the node.
 
\par BodyPartFormatter Plugins
 
As mentioned way earlier, BodyPartFormatter can either be plugins or be internal. bodypartformatter.cpp
contains some trickery so that the processXXX() methods of the ObjectTreeParser are called from
a BodyPartFormatter associated with them, see the CREATE_BODY_PART_FORMATTER macro.
 
The BodyPartFormatter code is work in progress, it was supposed to be refactored, but that has not
yet happened at the time of writing. Therefore the code can seem a bit chaotic.
 
External plugins are loaded with loadPlugins() in bodypartformatterfactory.cpp. External plugins
can only use the classes in the interfaces/ directory, they include BodyPart, BodyPartMemento,
BodyPartFormatterPlugin, BodyPartFormatter, BodyPartURLHandler and URLHandler. Therefore
external plugins have powerful capabilities, which are needed for example in the iCal formatter or
in the vCard formatter.
 
\par Special HTML tags
 
As also mentioned in the documentation of ViewerPrivate, the ObjectTreeParser writes out special
links that are only understood by the viewer, for example 'kmail:' URLs or 'attachment:' URLs.
Also, some special HTML tags are created, which the Viewer later uses for post-processing. For
example a div with the id 'attachmentInjectionPoint', or a div with the id 'attachmentDiv', which
is used to mark an attachment in the body with a yellow border when the user clicks the attachment
in the header. Finally, parseObjectTree() creates an anchor with the id 'att%1', which is used in
the Viewer to scroll to the attachment.
