Hi, Has anybody got experience with HTML or RichText viewer components? Has anybody implemented something like this?
I would like to start a HTML/RichText viewer component for fpGUI. Unfortunately I have no idea where to start. I guess trying to make the component HTML 4 and maybe CSS1 complaint would be a good idea. This will obviously be a long term effort, but would come in very handy if fpGUI wanted to implement it's own HTML based Help Viewer or some Rich Text Viewer. There are lots of other uses for such a component as well. I need some guidelines of the development process of such a component.... Anybody got some thoughts. Here are some 'off the top of my head' steps to follow. 1. I guess first thing would be to get some HTML parser. There are lots available, so that should be fairly easy. 2. Break down the document into parts (classes or some sort). Letters, Words, Lines, Paragraphs, Document. 3. Next I guess would be to implement simple text formatting as a start - Bold, Italics, Underline, font color etc... 4. A lot more.... :) I guess I could look at Java or Qt class documentation for ideas of breaking down the classes. Anybody got some thoughts or code to offer? Maybe somebody saw a article explaining such a process (no matter the language).
