Severity: wishlist

As discussed already a bit on emacs-devel, here:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2024-10/msg00425.html

and in a write-up I posted here:

https://recursewithless.net/emacs/icalendar-parser-and-mode.org

I would like to see Emacs gain an updated, full-fledged implementation
of RFC5545, the current version of the iCalendar standard.

I have been working on this for a couple of months, and have some code
that's ready to be reviewed and discussed. I'm creating this bug to
track that discussion.

Tags: patch

Here is a draft patch implementing a new parser for iCalendar data. This
code implements the grammar of RFC5545, functions to parse this grammar
to an abstract syntax tree, functions to validate syntax trees,
functions to print syntax trees, and a test suite for the parser and
printer functions containing all the examples from RFC5545.  The code is
organized as follows:

lisp/calendar/icalendar-ast.el: defines the abstract syntax tree,
  including the validation functions
lisp/calendar/icalendar-macs.el: defines the icalendar-define-param,
  icalendar-define-property, and icalendar-define-component macros
lisp/calendar/icalendar-parser.el: defines the parsing and printing
  functions, and all of the individual parameters, properties, and
  components defined in the RFC.
test/lisp/calendar/icalendar-parser-tests.el: the test suite.
  All the tests pass on my machine with Emacs 29.1 and with Emacs master.

Looking forward to your feedback! This is a (very?) large patch, so
please let me know if it would be better to submit it another way.

Thanks,
Richard

+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file defines the abstract syntax tree representation for
+;; iCalendar data.
+
+\f
+;;; Code:
+(require 'cl-lib)
+
+;;; Type symbols and metadata
+
+;; All nodes in the syntax treee have a type symbol as their first element.
+;; We use the following symbol properties (all prefixed with 'icalendar-')
+;; to associate type symbols with various important data about the type:
+;;
+;; is-type - t (marks this symbol as an icalendar type)
+;; is-value, is-param, is-property, or is-component - t
+;;   (specifies what sort of value this type represents)
+;; list-sep - for property and parameters types, a string (typically
+;;   "," or ";") which separates individual printed values, if the
+;;   type allows lists of values. If this is non-nil, syntax nodes of
+;;   this type should always have a list of values in their VALUE
+;;   field (even if there is only one value)
+;; matcher - a function to match this type. This function matches the
+;;   regular expression defined under the type's name; it is used to provide
+;;   syntax highlighting in `icalendar-mode'
+;; begin-rx, end-rx - for component-types, an `rx' regular expression which
+;;   matches the BEGIN and END lines that form its boundaries
+;; value-rx - an `rx' regular expression which matches individual values
+;;   of this type, with no consideration for quoting or lists of values.
+;;   (For value types, this is just a synonym for the rx definition
+;;   under the type's symbol)
+;; values-rx - for types that accept lists of values, an `rx' regular
+;;   expression which matches the whole list (including quotes, if required)
+;; full-value-rx - for property and parameter types, an `rx' regular
+;;   expression which matches a valid value expression in group 2, or
+;;   an invalid value in group 3
+;; value-reader - for value types, a function which creates syntax
+;;   nodes of this type given a string representing their value
+;; value-printer - for value types, a function to print individual
+;;   values of this type. It accepts a value and returns its string
+;;   representation.
+;; default-value - for property and parameter types, a string
+;;   representing a default value for nodes of this type. This is the
+;;   value assumed when no node of this type is present in the
+;;   relevant part of the syntax tree.
+;; substitute-value - for parameter types, a string representing a value
+;;   which will be substituted at parse times for unrecognized values.
+;;   (This is normally the same as default-value, but differs from it
+;;   in at least one case in RFC5545, thus it is stored separately.)
+;; default-type - for property types which can have values of multiple
+;;   types, this is the default type when no type for the value is
+;;   specified in the parameters. Any type of value other than this
+;;   one requires a VALUE=... parameter when the property is read or printed.
+;; other-types - for property types which can have values of multiple types,
+;;   this is a list of other types that the property can accept.
+;; child-spec - for property and component types, a plist describing the
+;;   required and optional child nodes. See `icalendar-define-property' and
+;;   `icalendar-define-component' for details.
+;; other-validator - a function to perform type-specific validation
+;;   for nodes of this type. If present, this function will be called
+;;   by `icalendar-ast-node-valid-p' during validation.
+;; type-documentation - a string documenting the type. This documentation is
+;;   printed in the help buffer when `describe-symbol' is called on TYPE.
+;; link - a hyperlink to the documentation of the type in the relevant standard
+

+  "Define iCalendar parameter PARAM-NAME under the symbol SYMBOLIC-NAME.
+PARAM-NAME should be the parameter name as it should appear in
+iCalendar data.
+
+VALUE should either be a symbol for a value type defined with
+`icalendar-define-type', or an `rx' regular expression. If it is
+a type symbol, the regex, reader and printer functions associated
+with that type will be used when parsing and serializing values.
+If it is a regular expression, it is assumed that the values of
+this parameter are strings which match that regular expression.
+
+An `rx' regular expression named SYMBOLIC-NAME which matches the
+parameter is defined:
+  Group 1 of this regex matches PARAM-NAME
+    (or any valid parameter name, if PARAM-NAME is nil).
+  Group 2 matches VALUE, which specifies a correct value
+    for this parameter according to RFC5545.
+  Group 3, if matched, contains any parameter value which does
+    *not* match VALUE, and is incorrect according to the standard.
+
+This regex matches the entire string representing this parameter,
+from \";\" to the end of its value. Another regular expression
+named `SYMBOLIC-NAME-value' is also defined to match just the
+value part, after \";PARAM-NAME=\", with groups 2 and 3 as above.
+
+A function to match the complete parameter expression called
+`icalendar-match-PARAM-NAME-param' is defined
+(or `icalendar-match-OTHER-param-value' if PARAM-NAME is nil,
+where OTHER is derived from SYMBOLIC-NAME by removing any prefix
+`icalendar-' and suffix `param'). This function is used
+to provide syntax highlighting in `icalendar-mode'.
+
+See the functions `icalendar-read-param-value',
+`icalendar-parse-param-value', `icalendar-parse-params' and
+`icalendar-print-param-node' to convert parameters defined with
+this macro to and from their text representation in iCalendar
+format.
+
+The following keyword arguments are accepted:
+
+:default - a (string representing the) default value, if the
+  parameter is not specified on a given property.
+
+:unrecognized - a (string representing the) value which must be
+  substituted for values that are not recognized but syntactically
+  correct according to RFC5545. Unrecognized values must be in match
+  group 5 of the regex determined by VALUE. An unrecognized value will
+  be preserved in the syntax tree metadata and printed instead of this
+  value when the node is printed. Defaults to any value specified for
+  :default.
+
+:quoted - non-nil if values of this parameter must always be surrounded
+  by (double-)quotation marks when printed, according to RFC5545.
+
+:list-sep - if the parameter accepts a list of values, this should be a
+  string which separates the values (typically \",\"). If :list-sep is
+  non-nil, the value string will first be split on the separator, then
+  if :quoted is non-nil, the individual values will be unquoted, then
+  each value will be read according to VALUE and collected into a list
+  when parsing.  When printing, the inverse happens: values are quoted
+  if :quoted is non-nil, then joined with :list-sep. Passing this
+  argument marks SYMBOLIC-NAME as a type that accepts a list of values
+  for `icalendar-expects-list-of-values-p'.
+
+:name-face - a face symbol for highlighting the property name
+  (default: ical:parameter-name)
+
+:value-face - a face symbol for highlighting valid property values
+  (default: ical:parameter-value)
+
+:warn-face - a face symbol for highlighting invalid property values
+  (default: ical:warning)
+
+:extra-faces - a list of the form accepted for HIGHLIGHT in
+  `font-lock-keywords'.  In particular,
+    ((GROUPNUM FACENAME [OVERRIDE [LAXMATCH]]) ...)
+  can be used to apply different faces to different
+  match subgroups.
+
+:link - a string containing a URL for documentation of this parameter.
+  The URL will be provided in the documentation shown by
+  `describe-symbol' for SYMBOLIC-NAME."

+  "Define iCalendar property PROPERTY-NAME under SYMBOLIC-NAME.
+PROPERTY-NAME should be the property name as it should appear in
+iCalendar data.
+
+VALUE should either be a symbol for a value type defined with
+`icalendar-define-type', or an `rx' regular expression. If it is
+a type symbol, the regex, reader and printer functions associated
+with that type will be used when parsing and serializing the
+property's value. If it is a regular expression, it is assumed
+that the values are strings of type `icalendar-text' which match
+that regular expression.
+
+An `rx' regular expression named SYMBOLIC-NAME is defined to
+match the property:
+  Group 1 of this regex matches PROPERTY-NAME.
+  Group 2 matches VALUE.
+  Group 3, if matched, contains any property value which does
+   *not* match VALUE, and is incorrect according to the standard.
+  Group 4, if matched, contains the (unparsed) property parameters;
+   its boundaries can be used for parsing these.
+
+This regex matches the entire string representing this property,
+from the beginning of the content line to the end of its value.
+Another regular expression named `SYMBOLIC-NAME-value' is also
+defined to match just the value part, after the separating colon,
+with groups 2 and 3 as above.
+
+A function to match the complete property expression called
+`icalendar-match-PROPERTY-NAME-property' is defined. This
+function is used to provide syntax highlighting in
+`icalendar-mode'.
+
+See the functions `icalendar-read-property-value',
+`icalendar-parse-property-value', `icalendar-parse-property', and
+`icalendar-print-property-node' to convert properties defined
+with this macro to and from their text representation in
+iCalendar format.
+
+The following keyword arguments are accepted:
+
+:default - a (string representing the) default value, if
+  the property is not specified in a given component.
+
+:unrecognized - a (string representing the) value which must be
+  substituted for values that are not recognized but
+  syntactically correct according to RFC5545. Unrecognized values
+  must be in match group 5 of the regex determined by VALUE. An
+  unrecognized value will be preserved in the syntax tree
+  metadata and printed instead of this value when the node is
+  printed. Defaults to any value specified for :default.
+
+:default-type - a type symbol naming the default type of the
+  property's value. If the property's value differs from this
+  type, an `icalendar-valuetypeparam' parameter will be added to
+  the property's syntax node and printed when the node is
+  printed. Default is VALUE if VALUE is a value type symbol,
+  otherwise the type `icalendar-text'.
+
+:other-types - a list of type symbols naming value types other
+  than :default-type. These represent alternative types for the
+  property's value. If parsing the property's value under its
+  default type fails, these types will be tried in turn, and only
+  if the property's value matches none of them will an error be
+  signaled.
+
+:list-sep - if the property accepts a list of values, this should
+  be a string which separates the values (typically \",\"). If
+  :list-sep is non-nil, the value string will first be split on
+  the separator, then each value will be read according to VALUE
+  and collected into a list when parsing. When printing, the
+  inverse happens: values are printed individually and then
+  joined with :list-sep. Passing this argument marks
+  SYMBOLIC-NAME as a type that accepts a list of values for
+  `icalendar-expects-list-of-values-p'.
+
+:child-spec - a plist mapping the following keywords to lists
+of type symbols:
+  :one           - parameters that must appear exactly once
+  :one-or-more   - parameters that must appear at least once and
+                   may appear more than once
+  :zero-or-one   - parameters that must appear at most once
+  :zero-or-more  - parameters that may appear more than once
+  :allow-others  - if non-nil, other parameters besides those listed in
+                   the above are allowed to appear. (In this case, a
+                   :zero-or-more clause is redundant.)
+
+:other-validator - a function to perform any additional validation of
+  the component, beyond what `icalendar-ast-node-valid-p' checks.
+  This function should accept one argument, a syntax node. It
+  should return non-nil if the node is valid, or signal an
+  `icalendar-validation-error' if it is not. Its name does not
+  need to be quoted.
+
+:name-face - a face symbol for highlighting the property name
+  (default: `ical:property-name')
+
+:value-face - a face symbol for highlighting valid property values
+  (default: `ical:property-value')
+
+:warn-face - a face symbol for highlighting invalid property values
+  (default: `ical:warning')
+
+:extra-faces - a list of the form for HIGHLIGHT in `font-lock-keywords'.
+  In particular, ((GROUPNUM FACENAME [OVERRIDE [LAXMATCH]])...)
+  can be used to apply different faces to different match subgroups.
+
+:link - a string containing a URL for documentation of this property"

+Regular expressions to match the component boundaries are defined
+named `COMPONENT-NAME-begin' and `COMPONENT-NAME-end' (or
+`OTHER-begin' and `OTHER-end', where `OTHER' is derived from
+SYMBOLIC-NAME by removing any prefix `icalendar-' and suffix
+`-component' if COMPONENT-NAME is nil).
+  Group 1 of these regexes matches the \"BEGIN\" or \"END\"
+    keyword that marks a component boundary.
+  Group 2 matches the component name.
+
+A function to match the component boundaries is defined called
+`icalendar-match-COMPONENT-NAME-component' (or
+`icalendar-match-OTHER-component', with OTHER as above). This
+function is used to provide syntax highlighting in
+`icalendar-mode'.
+

+
+:child-spec - a plist mapping the following keywords to lists
+of type symbols:
+  :one           - properties or components that must appear exactly once
+  :one-or-more   - properties or components that must appear at least once and
+                   may appear more than once
+  :zero-or-one   - properties or components that must appear at most once
+  :zero-or-more  - properties or components that may appear more than once
+  :allow-others  - if non-nil, other children besides those listed in the above
+                   are allowed to appear. (In this case, a :zero-or-more clause
+                   is redundant.)
+
+:other-validator - a function to perform any additional validation of
+  the component, beyond what `icalendar-ast-node-valid-p' checks.
+  This function should accept one argument, a syntax node. It
+  should return non-nil if the node is valid, or signal an
+  `icalendar-validation-error' if it is not. Its name does not
+  need to be quoted.
+
+:keyword-face - a face symbol for highlighting the BEGIN/END keyword
+  (default: ical:keyword)
+
+:name-face - a face symbol for highlighting the component name
+  (default: ical:component-name)

+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file defines regular expressions, constants and functions that
+;; implement the iCalendar grammar according to RFC5545.
+;;
+;; iCalendar data is grouped into *components*, such as events or
+;; to-do items. Each component contains one or more *content lines*,
+;; which each contain a *property* name and its *value*, and possibly
+;; also property *parameters* with additional data that affects the
+;; interpretation of the property.
+;;
+;; The macros `ical:define-type', `ical:define-param',
+;; `ical:define-property' and `ical:define-component', defined in
+;; icalendar-macs.el, each create rx-style regular expressions for one
+;; of these categories in the grammar and are used here to define the
+;; particular value types, parameters, properties and components in the
+;; standard as type symbols. These type symbols store all the metadata
+;; about the relevant types, and are used for type-based dispatch in the
+;; parser and printer functions. In the abstract syntax tree, each node
+;; contains a type symbol naming its type.
+;;
+;; The regular expressions defined by the `ical:define-*' macros are
+;; also used to create entries for `font-lock-keywords', which are
+;; gathered into several constants along the way, and used to provide
+;; syntax highlighting in icalendar-mode.el. A number of other regular
+;; expressions which encode basic categories of the grammar are also
+;; defined in this file.
+;;
+;; The following functions provide the high-level interface to the parser:
+;;
+;;   `icalendar-parse-component'
+;;   `icalendar-parse-property'
+;;   `icalendar-parse-params'
+;;
+;; The format of the abstract syntax tree which these functions create
+;; is documented in icalendar-ast.el. Nodes in this tree can be
+;; serialized to iCalendar format with the corresponding printer
+;; functions:
+;;
+;;   `icalendar-print-component-node'
+;;   `icalendar-print-property-node'
+;;   `icalendar-print-params'

+;;; Functions for folding and unfolding
+;;
+;; According to RFC5545, iCalendar content lines longer than 75 octets
+;; should be *folded* by inserting extra line breaks and leading
+;; whitespace to continue the line. Such lines must be *unfolded*
+;; before they can be parsed.  Unfolding can only reliably happen
+;; before Emacs decodes a region of text, because decoding potentially
+;; replaces the CR-LF line endings which terminate content lines.
+;; Programs that can control when decoding happens should use the
+;; stricter `ical:unfold-undecoded-region' to unfold text; programs
+;; that must work with decoded data should use the looser
+;; `ical:unfold-region'. `ical:fold-region' will fold content lines
+;; using line breaks appropriate to the buffer's coding system.
+;;
+;; All the parsing-related code belows assumes that lines have
+;; already been unfolded if necessary.

Here's a second patch which uses the parser provided by the last
patch to implement a new major mode, icalendar-mode, which for now just
provides syntax highlighting and some basic commands for folding and
unfolding lines.

Again, this is a draft; there's still plenty to be done. I'm looking
forward to your feedback.

Thanks,
Richard

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] New major mode icalendar-mode

Import icalendar-mode.el from external repo
Move font lock setup from ical:define-* macros into constants in
  icalendar-mode.el
Check that face keywords are non-nil, and require icalendar-mode,
  when adding to icalendar-font-lock-keywords in ical:define-* macros

+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file defines icalendar-mode, a major mode for editing
+;; iCalendar data. It defines a syntax table, faces, hooks, and
+;; commands for the mode and sets up syntax highlighting via
+;; font-lock-mode. Syntax highlighting uses the entries for
+;; font-lock-keywords already gathered in icalendar-parser.el, which
+;; see.
+
+;; When activated, icalendar-mode offers to unfold content lines if
+;; necessary, and switch to a new buffer containing the unfolded data;
+;; see `ical:maybe-switch-to-unfolded-buffer'. This is because the
+;; parsing facilities, and thus syntax highlighting, assume that
+;; content lines have already been unfolded. When a buffer is saved,
+;; icalendar-mode also offers to fold long content if necessary, as
+;; required by RFC5545; see `ical:before-save-checks'.
