Seems we need OutputPage::headElement, passing in the current skin...

But we don't really want it just outputting it however.. Can we get a reference to the output page via any method?

headElement() doesn't do any output, it just returns a string.

Can we get a reference
to the output page via any method?

Creating a new one should work just fine, as $wgOut (the global one) doesn't contain anything useful anyway and messing it up is bad style.

$out = new OutputPage;
$out->addParserOutputNoText( $po ); // PO object generated by action=parse
$headHTML = $out->headElement();

In parse..

		if ( isset( $prop['stylesheets'] ) ) {
		
			$out = new OutputPage;
			$out->addParserOutputNoText( $p_result ); // PO object generated by action=parse
				
			$result_array['stylesheets'] = $out->headElement( $wgUser->getSkin() );
		}

Obviously too much information, but on the right track...

How much do we want to give them? Or do we just give them it like that, htmlencoded?

Not quite as originally requested, but prop=headhtml on action=parse will give a dump of the <head> stuff

Reopening, think I should do this in a better fashion

From OutputPage.php

<Reedy> 02121 $this->buildCssLinks(),
<Reedy> 02122 $this->getHeadScripts( $sk ),
<Reedy> 02123 $this->getHeadItems(),
<Reedy> Is what it should be returning
<Reedy> but as a proper list
<Reedy> Annoyingly, most of those functions make the result into a string

HeadItems comes from prop=headitems (from extensions...)

Maybe prop=headscripts and prop=csslinks....

Suggestions?

Returning these separately means sense I guess, but it's probably also convenient to have a way to get the whole thing at once.

Per IRC..

Can we get away with changing/adding onto headitems, and backport to 1.16

Or just keep seperate, and have an option to get all..

Adding stuff onto headitems is definitely acceptable IMO

Script is a bit nasty. Don't know if we want to split it off a bit more (find some way of

We can explode, and array_filter. But we strip whatever we add.. So would have to reappend...

Unless we regex split.

Worth doing, or not worth the faff?

Is the original head items, CSS, and scripts...
