Re: [webkit-dev] WebKit-GTK in embedded system
A number of small simple html renderer's exist that should meet your needs given the description you gave. I'm surprised you would want to use webkit. This one for example. http://www.fifi.org/doc/libgtkhtml-dev/html/gtkhtml.html On Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 8:17 AM, John Boncek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sending again now that I am subscribed -- sorry if you receive a duplicate.

Re: [webkit-dev] WebKit-GTK in embedded system
Indeed WebKit seems like overkill for what we need. I was aware of GtkHTML but not of this web site. I posted a message to the GTK App Devel list about the apparent dearth of HTML support in GTK and about the fact that GtkHTML in particular came with no usage documentation whatsoever. No one there pointed me to any form of documentation but I received a number of recommendations to use WebKit. Does this documentation apply to the Gnome version of GtkHTML or some other version? The Gnome version is stated to be Evolution-specific, not a general-purpose library. If this documents some other version, where might I find it? -Original Message- From: Mike Emmel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 10:35 AM To: Boncek, John Cc: webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org Subject: Re: [webkit-dev] WebKit-GTK in embedded system A number of small simple html renderer's exist that should meet your needs given the description you gave.

Re: [webkit-dev] WebKit-GTK in embedded system
I used in several years ago and it was GTK only and seemed to be capable of what your asking for. I know its used in Evolution but as far as I know its still just a gtk widget. Several more exist. Here is a link to one for some reason the website seemed down when I checked http://www.dillo.org/ I've used this before also and it should do what your asking. The wiki page for dillo has a lot of links to a lot of other browsers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dillo And here is a download link that might work for you if the site is really down. http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/linux/Dillo-Review-25310.shtml You would need to do your own research but I'm aware of a number of small html viewers that might meet your requirements. Generally they are used for HTML help viewers. It sounded like your doing something like that.

XSLT can be omitted as can some other XML-related features (like SVG) but CSS and DOM cannot, as they are fundamental to how WebKit renders even simple HTML.
