remove most string concat, fixes #7

This fixes most of the egregious cases of string concat in the HTML tokenizer:
* attribute names/values
* data/comments
* script/rawtext/rcdata

It also fixes adjacent text nodes in TreeBuilder, which happens whenever space characters are adjacent to characters.

There's still an issue of preserving char codes for longer, but this should get out of the O(N^2) at least.

html5 parser in dart

This is a pure Dart html5 parser. It‘s a port of html5lib from Python. Since it’s 100% Dart you can use it safely from a script or server side app.

Eventually the parse tree API will be compatible with dart:html, so the same code will work on the client and the server.

Installation

Add this to your pubspec.yaml (or create it):

dependencies:
  html: any

Then run the Pub Package Manager (comes with the Dart SDK):

pub install

Usage

Parsing HTML is easy!

import 'package:html/parser.dart' show parse;
import 'package:html/dom.dart';

main() {
  var document = parse(
      '<body>Hello world! <a href="www.html5rocks.com">HTML5 rocks!');
  print(document.outerHtml);
}

You can pass a String or list of bytes to parse. There's also parseFragment for parsing a document fragment, and HtmlParser if you want more low level control.
