- Download the html file, and basically use tabs and returns to separate the text in a coherent way. This is easy but could turn out messy.
- Parse out the table cell contents and put it into the cells of a table field. Might work, but seems like it wouldn't handle non-tabular text well.
- Dynamically create text fields and table fields as needed, based on how the html file parses out, use the characteristics of the text (textSize, formattedHeight, formattedWidth, etc.) to set the fields to be large enough to display the all of the text or table without scrolling. Then stack the fields top to bottom and group them in a group with a vertical scrollbar and scroll the group instead of the field. Might work but might be complicated to program. Maybe performance hits here?
Has anyone tried to do something like this? I noticed Xavier in DiscreteBrowser uses the first approach. Any ideas? The idea is not to exactly duplicate html tables, but to render the text in tables in a pleasing and readable way.
