hello list,
i have two questions, one of which is pretty concrete while the other one is about the general direction of plucker.
a.) say we have a table with two tr's and two td's each. if each cell contains an image, the two adjacent columns are rendered with no space inbetween, while between the rows, there is a large gap. why is this? can this be worked around somehow? is this a bug? if so, will it be fixed?
b.) i think plucker is a nice start for a, well, embedded/lightweight viewer. but at the moment it seems to be targeted mostly at reading news with no bells and no whistles. i think, however, that having more control over the layout might help open plucker to a wider range of users. unfortunately i don't know very much about the internals of the rendering engine, but: where is it going, concept-wise? could it (given tcp connectivity) become "real" web browser? of course, there is the palm web browser, but it's only available on 5.x.
anyway, given the limitations of, for example, font rendering: how precise should the control over the layout become? 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?
basically: will it be no-bullshit-read-the-news-and-stay-informed or will it be all-the-bells-and-whistles-nice-looking-too?
thanks for any answers in advance
