Pull request overview

This PR implements significant refactoring of the HTML to XML conversion pipeline for processing scientific articles in the SciELO Classic Website. The changes aim to optimize XPath queries, improve error handling, and restructure the conversion architecture for better modularity.

Key Changes:

  • Simplified XPath queries for corresp elements and ref-list processing
  • Refactored XMLSupToXrefPipe to preserve document hierarchy and add xref completion logic
  • Extensive restructuring of body_pipes with new modular pipeline stages for detecting and organizing document elements (sections, footnotes, references)

The method find_graphic_in_siblings uses 'while True:' loop but only has 'return' statements to exit, no break statement. If neither sibling.tag matches (line 1416-1417) nor graphic is found in subtree (line 1418-1420), the loop continues with the current sibling as the new item. However, if all siblings are exhausted and none contain a graphic, the loop will never terminate naturally - it relies on the return statement at line 1415 when sibling is None. Consider adding a comment to clarify this termination condition or restructure for clarity.

Similar to the fig version, this method uses 'while True:' loop for finding graphic in upper siblings. The loop relies on return statements to exit and could be clearer. Consider restructuring or adding clarifying comments about the termination conditions.

The remove_empty_tags method uses nested loops with xpath searches, where the outer loop continues until no TOSTRIP tags are found. However, the inner loop on line 1468 creates a list of all elements without children, which could be very large for complex documents. This O(n²) behavior could cause performance issues. Consider optimizing by processing elements in a single pass or using a more efficient traversal strategy.

The logic for wrapping sup content in xref has changed significantly. The new implementation clears the sup element and moves children to xref, then appends xref to sup. However, lines 770-771 set sup.text to None twice (once on line 767 and again on line 770). This is redundant. Additionally, the new approach of modifying sup in place and keeping it as a wrapper differs from the old approach where sup was replaced by xref. This could affect styling or processing expectations downstream. Verify this behavior change is intentional and won't break existing functionality.

The method join_bold_and_bold uses node.tail which could be None. On line 1891, it concatenates (node.tail or "") with bold.text, which is safe. However, the logic removes the following bold's text (line 1892) and moves children, but doesn't handle the following bold's tail. This tail content will be lost when the bold tag is stripped. Consider preserving the tail by appending it to the last child or to the parent node's text.

The error logging at line 1324 will be triggered every time a fig element doesn't have a graphic sibling, which might be a valid scenario (e.g., fig with only a caption). This could lead to excessive error logs for normal cases. Consider using logging.warning or logging.debug instead of logging.error, or add logic to distinguish between expected and unexpected missing graphics.

Suggested change
logging.error(f"InsertGraphicInFigPipe - no graphic found for fig {ET.tostring(item)}")
logging.warning(f"InsertGraphicInFigPipe - no graphic found for fig {ET.tostring(item)}")

The logging statement at line 1399 uses f-string to include ET.tostring(tablewrap) which could produce very large log entries if the tablewrap element contains substantial content. This could lead to excessive log file sizes. Consider truncating the output or logging just the id attribute or a summary instead of the full element.

Suggested change
logging.info(f"InsertGraphicInTablewrapPipe - feito {ET.tostring(tablewrap)}")
tablewrap_str = ET.tostring(tablewrap, encoding="unicode")
max_len = 500
if len(tablewrap_str) > max_len:
tablewrap_str = tablewrap_str[:max_len] + " ... [truncated]"
