Thompson writes: >>I'm working on a style-sheet which maps fo:... to XML+CSS, will probably release it once there's a browser out there that can handle the result :-( << Using the new MS VJ++ 6.0 it is very easy to write your own browser. The same scheme can be used with any language and the COM version of MSHTML. Write a small app the initializes an empty HTML page. Then just use t he DOM to create HTML objects as your parsing engine signals events. For example to make a browser that supports the XSL formatting objects... First build a stylesheet to map the FO objects to HTML. The build a simple element factory on to the backend of James Clark's XT to create the HTML objects. Think of the MSHTML system as a formatting engine, not a browser. If you want to add your own custom objects, write them as an ActiveX or Javabean and then wrap them in an <OBJECT> tag.
