Dear Docutils users, I finally managed to publish my long running project of a no-CSS HTML writer. It is now in the Sandbox, available under http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/docutils/trunk/sandbox/html4trans/ with a description in http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/docutils/trunk/sandbox/html4trans/README.txt (links at docutils.sourceforge.net will hopefully be updated soon). Feedback welcome Günter =============================================== HTML writer for lightweight browsers =============================================== Motivation ========== The HTML Writer module, docutils/writers/html4css1.py produces XHTML compatible with the XHTML 1.0 specification. Correct rendering of the HTML produced depends on the CSS support of the browser. Browsers without full CSS support (lightweight browsers, older browsers, text-only browsers, help viewers) produce inferior results. However, correct rendering of HTML+CSS requires considerable resources in form of program code, memory space and computation time. On older machines or in embedded devices this might pose a serious problem. Another example is a HTML help viewer of a program. It should start up fast ("immediately") and not take too much resources. Editing and generating documentation with reStructuredText is possible with modest requirements on computer power. Viewing the result should be as well. |
