Hi.
HTML Renderer in Pure PostScript,
http://www.terryburton.co.uk/htmlrenderer, is a small PostScript
utility that facilitates the rendering of trivial HTML in pure
PostScript, which gives a compatible printer (or print system) the
capability to render simple webpages without the need for a web
browser.
At the moment the utility is very basic supporting only basic word
wrapping, nestable unordered lists, bold text, italic text, monospaced
text, breaks and paragraphs. The is no support for anything as
complicated as CSS and it does not presently support any tags that
require arguments, such as <font size=3D"10">, etc.
However, depending upon the level of interest, I may expand the
capabilities to include things such as the rendering of tables, ordered
lists, input elements and any other features that are part of basic
HTML.
To register your interest please subscribe to this mailing list.
In order to fund the initial development costs I'm granting you a
license to use the code for a one time payment of =A310 which you must
give if you wish to make continued use of the code, beyond initial
fitness testing. Once I have recouped the initial development costs of
the project I pledge to free the project under a permissive open source
license such as the MIT/X-comsortium license.
I welcome your suggestions, comments and above-all code. :-)
Have fun,
Tez
