Contributions are always welcome and the perspective of having a working
html->pdf even more. A request for it pops quite frequently.

Subject: [iText-questions] Unit testing pdf generation logic using
htmlparser


> Hi,
>     I've been using iText for some pdf generation at my workplace, and
> its a really good piece of software. I usually unit-test all of my code,
> and have developed (actually still developing) a simple
> testing-framework for doing junit testing of pdf creation logic.
>
>     I have been able to do this primarily because iText has a
> html-generation mode. I am the lead programmer on the htmlparser project
> ( http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net <http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net>
> ) - a fast and simple parser that has been developed for dirty html.
> Using htmlparser, I am able to pick up relevant details of a pdf page
> from its corresponding html representation. There are some things that I
> am not able to pick up but for the most part - it seems to be working
> fine.
>
>     I was wondering if you are interested in unit-testing capability for
> iText - I'd be glad to check it in.
>
>     Also, htmlparser is a lot faster and far more robust than the other
> parsers around - I saw an effort in trying to convert html pages to pdf.
> I might be able to help if the author/community is interested.
