Several people think of it as an ebook reader. The main problem is that a palm is very limited. It isn't fast, it has a small screen, and there isn't much storage. (This is one reason I don't prefer plucker for ebooks -- I can't easily delete the chapters as I go.) > more control over the layout might help open plucker to a > wider range of users. What specifically would you like added? The parsers have been passing more and more information through, but ... most web pages still assume a screen far wider than a palm. > will it be possible to hand-code xml layout description with > plucker-specific code and feed them to the distiller to make > it pdb, or will plucker support one of the various > "wireless" html flavours directly some day? If you can say exactly what you want, then probably (though not this month). It probably won't be the default option though, because no-horizontal-scrolling is an important feature. (As Alex mentioned, you could write your own onboard interpreter -- there are even python and java environments for a palm that you could use with the current parsers -- but I wouldn't recommend it for speed.) -jJ _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
