Hi All,
I'm working on a commercial game which incorporates embedded HTML in some of
the screens. Until recently I have been using an IE COM object but would
like to get away from that dependency. My preference would be a simple C or
C++ library or DLL which I could hard link to so that changes in the
operating environment didn't screw us up. Getting away from COM would be a
*good* thing.
I'm not looking for the latest and greatest whiz-bang features. We only use
a very small subset of the HTML spec. Even 10 year old HTML support would be
more than adequate. We use the HTML to display formatted text and simple
bitmaps on a textured background and to have in-game links within the text
to select game objects.
Does someone know if something like this has been done with the Mozilla
sources yet or not? If not, would it be "open-source correct" to make such a
library from the Mozilla sources and make the sources for the library public
without making the rest of the game engine public?
Thank you,
Jeff McBride
