Hi,
The ViewML website says that ViewML uses "KDE Desktop's kfm HTML display engine". I'm a bit confused about this point. I was of the opinion that libwww is the actual HTML engine.
- So what's the difference between "libwww" and "KDE Desktop's kfm HTML display engine"? What are the roles of the two components?
- And what role does ViewML actually play? Would I be correct to say that it provides the browser user interface that actually uses the libwww HTML engine and that the widgets of the browser UI are created using FLTK?
- And also, what role does Pthread play? What are the multiple operations that are required to operate in parallel?
- The ViewML FAQ section (http://www.viewml.com/faq/) has a "Coming soon" message for the ViewML specifications/architecture section. Any idea when they'll be available?
Thanks for the info!
Supriyo
