Alexander Scheel ee7df7ba8c Markdown: Sanitizier Configuration (#9075)
* Support custom sanitization policy

Allowing the gitea administrator to configure sanitization policy allows
them to couple external renders and custom templates to support more
markup. In particular, the `pandoc` renderer allows generating KaTeX
annotations, wrapping them in `<span>` elements with class `math` and
either `inline` or `display` (depending on whether or not inline or
block mode was requested).

This iteration gives the administrator whitelisting powers; carefully
crafted regexes will thus let through only the desired attributes
necessary to support their custom markup.

Resolves: #9054

* Document new sanitization configuration

 - Adds basic documentation to app.ini.sample,
 - Adds an example to the Configuration Cheat Sheet, and
 - Adds extended information to External Renderers section.

* Drop extraneous length check in newMarkupSanitizer(...)

* Fix plural ELEMENT and ALLOW_ATTR in docs

These were left over from their initial names. Make them singular to
conform with the current expectations.

# Custom files rendering configuration
Gitea supports custom file renderings (i.e., Jupyter notebooks, asciidoc, etc.) through external binaries,
it is just a matter of:
* installing external binaries
* add some configuration to your `app.ini` file
* restart your Gitea instance
## Installing external binaries
In order to get file rendering through external binaries, their associated packages must be installed.
If you're using a Docker image, your `Dockerfile` should contain something along this lines:
```
FROM gitea/gitea:{{< version >}}
[...]
COPY custom/app.ini /data/gitea/conf/app.ini
[...]
RUN apk --no-cache add asciidoctor freetype freetype-dev gcc g++ libpng python-dev py-pip python3-dev py3-pip py3-zmq
# install any other package you need for your external renderers
RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip
RUN pip3 install -U setuptools
RUN pip3 install jupyter matplotlib docutils
# add above any other python package you may need to install
```
## `app.ini` file configuration
add one `[markup.XXXXX]` section per external renderer on your custom `app.ini`:
```
[markup.asciidoc]
ENABLED = true
FILE_EXTENSIONS = .adoc,.asciidoc
RENDER_COMMAND = "asciidoctor -e -a leveloffset=-1 --out-file=- -"
; Input is not a standard input but a file
IS_INPUT_FILE = false
[markup.jupyter]
ENABLED = true
FILE_EXTENSIONS = .ipynb
RENDER_COMMAND = "jupyter nbconvert --stdout --to html --template basic "
IS_INPUT_FILE = true
[markup.restructuredtext]
ENABLED = true
FILE_EXTENSIONS = .rst
RENDER_COMMAND = rst2html.py
IS_INPUT_FILE = false
```
If your external markup relies on additional classes and attributes on the generated HTML elements, you might need to enable custom sanitizer policies. Gitea uses the [`bluemonday`](https://godoc.org/github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday) package as our HTML sanitizier. The example below will support [KaTeX](https://katex.org/) output from [`pandoc`](https://pandoc.org/).
```ini
[markup.sanitizer]
; Pandoc renders TeX segments as <span>s with the "math" class, optionally
; with "inline" or "display" classes depending on context.
ELEMENT = span
ALLOW_ATTR = class
REGEXP = ^\s*((math(\s+|$)|inline(\s+|$)|display(\s+|$)))+
[markup.markdown]
ENABLED = true
FILE_EXTENSIONS = .md,.markdown
RENDER_COMMAND = pandoc -f markdown -t html --katex
```
You may redefine `ELEMENT`, `ALLOW_ATTR`, and `REGEXP` multiple times; each time all three are defined is a single policy entry. All three must be defined, but `REGEXP` may be blank to allow unconditional whitelisting of that attribute.
Once your configuration changes have been made, restart Gitea to have changes take effect.
