Also!
In this case, the solution is *already* out there, if you just accept to
adhere to standards (such as Unicode, Java, *XML*, and Plane-14 tags
deprecation).
You can throw away my silly toy parsers, and upload on your DVB-MHP a
*full-fledged* XML browser written in *Java*, such as this one, designed
exactly for the kind of embedded usage that you described:
http://www.x-smiles.org/xsmiles_objectives.html
When the browser is there, just feed it with whatever kind XML file you
need. You don't even have to decide in advance the file format and encoding:
among other things, X-Smiles understand XSL Formatting Objects (which is
kind of style sheets even smarter of the Cascading Style Sheets that I used
in my example), so you just specify these details directly in the text file.
