WebKit is a full web browser engine (supporting JavaScript and rendering of HTML, XHTML, SVG, images and plug-ins), not just a simple HTML renderer (although it does that, too :). If all you're looking for is a simple HTML renderer, there are probably better choices. See the thread entitled, "WebKit-GTK in embedded system" for more details (you didn't say which platform this was for, though): https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2008-July/004503.html Dave On Thu, 8/7/08, Javed Rabbani <jrabbani@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello Everyone,
I am new to Webkit domain. I am initially trying to use Webkit to render a simple html text file with no graphics. I am confused with the IDL files that come with Webkit source. Why is there any need to generate JavaScript bindings via IDL files using Perl scripts. What I want to say is why these binding files are not part of the source? Everyone will be required to generate them on his system through the Perl script. If I am trying to render a plain text message, will I still need to generate these bindings in order to build successfully? Can I somehow skip these files to simplify the usage.
Thanks, J R Shah
