Sam Atkins 4edafb35cd LibWeb/CSS: Use PendingSubstitutionValue for unresolved shorthands
Previously, we would just assign the UnresolvedStyleValue to each
longhand, which was completely wrong but happened to work if it was a
ShorthandStyleValue (because that's basically a list of "set property X
to Y", and doesn't care which property it's the value of).

For example, the included `var-in-margin-shorthand.html` test would:
1. Set `margin-top` to `var(--a) 10px`
2. Resolve it to `margin-top: 5px 10px`
3. Reject that as invalid

What now happens is:
1. Set `margin-top` to a PendingSubstitutionValue
2. Resolve `margin` to `5px 10px`
3. Expand that out into its longhands
4. `margin-top` is `5px` 🎉

In order to support this, `for_each_property_expanding_shorthands()` now
runs the callback for the shorthand too if it's an unresolved or
pending-substitution value. This is so that we can store those in the
CascadedProperties until they can be resolved - otherwise, by the time
we want to resolve them, we don't have them any more.

`cascade_declarations()` has an unfortunate hack: it tracks, for each
declaration, which properties have already been given values, so that
it can avoid overwriting an actual value with a pending one. This is
necessary because of the unfortunate way that CSSStyleProperties holds
expanded longhands, and not just the original declarations. The spec
disagrees with itself about this, but we do need to do that expansion
for `element.style` to work correctly. This HashTable is unfortunate
but it does solve the problem until a better solution can be found.

Ladybird

Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, using a novel engine based on web standards.

Important

Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers

Features

We aim to build a complete, usable browser for the modern web.

Ladybird uses a multi-process architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes, an ImageDecoder process, and a RequestServer process.

Image decoding and network connections are done out of process to be more robust against malicious content. Each tab has its own renderer process, which is sandboxed from the rest of the system.

At the moment, many core library support components are inherited from SerenityOS:

  • LibWeb: Web rendering engine
  • LibJS: JavaScript engine
  • LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
  • LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security
  • LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
  • LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering
  • LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
  • LibMedia: Audio and video playback
  • LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
  • LibIPC: Inter-process communication

How do I build and run this?

See build instructions for information on how to build Ladybird.

Ladybird runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and many other *Nixes.

How do I read the documentation?

Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.
