It would be an interesting project to wrap up Bill's excellent GTK+ viewer in a
general framework so that it could be a native application on not just
GTK, but OSX, and MSW, as well as a little X11 executable for embedded Linux
devices.
There is an wxHtmlWindow widget that will render simple HTML (for example the
"preview" tab on the HTML editor, and the online HTML help).
-Forward and back behaviour is built in already.
-A similar feature set is available: font color, strike, bold, underline, H1-
H6, alignment, horizontal rules, etc.
-Image renders are built in, all have to do to support PNG, BMP, JPG, etc is to
add a single line of the code to add in the ImageHandler for that image type.
Seems like all that would be needed would be to have a wxFrame with a
wxHtmlWindow. Opening uses the explode to explode to a temp dir and do a
SetPage() on the the
wxHtmlWindow to show the document. Of course, a more detailed approach would
probably be better, especially for very large documents--I haven't taken a
close look at the GTK+ viewer sourcecode yet, but will do so today.
Best wishes,
Robert
