I don't have time to do the programming, but I have some existing code that
may be useful.
I was part of a group of students who made a HTML syntax checker and viewer
as an assignment. We wrote it in Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS. Parts that are
re-usable are the HTML grammar document (in EBNF like form, much easier to
read than SGML DTDs), the scanner and parser code (this is tricky because
the scanner has to treat text inside and outside tags differently) and
maybe parts of the pretty printing (which is not that good, but may give
you a few ideas). But note that our browser was only guaranteed to display
correct HTML. On the web, correct HTML is very rare. Browsers do all sorts
of things to display incorrect HTML in some acceptable way.
I also made a text display routine for variable width fonts in MSX
assembly. You can see it in the end scroller of Almost Real. I have
unfinished code for a more advanced display routine, which could be
controlled by the user.
Another approach would be to implement the FudeBrowser converter on MSX.
You wouldn't need to implement the display routines because they already
exist.
By the way, is there already a telnet for UZIX?
Anyone want to make an X-server for GFX9000? Now that would be cool...
