HTML to QTF [message #27808]

I have some very simple HTML documents:

<center>Hello World</center><BR>
Goodbye <B>World</b><BR>

is about as complex as it gets. Is there an existing way to convert this to QTF for easy display? I was thinking of just find/replace the few tags that are in use with Qtf equivalents but figured that a more robust solution may already exist that is escaping my search.

Thanks,

Jeremy

There is no robust solution.
I was thinking about such a converter, but refused due to a pair of moments:
1) HTML may have included refence CSS files or Javascript. You need to parse CSS as well. And you have to make javascript erased from the queue in a robust way.

2) QTF is much more strict and has another nature of displaying. HTML defines %/em/px-sized metrics while QTF defines very strict number of size/position metrics for very strict number of elements.

HTML != QTF
by nature, by functionality and by ideology.

That is why I don't see any general solution for this converter.

Hello Jeremy

If you are working in Windows you can use FirefoxBrowser or IExplorerBrowser in Controld4U ( http://www.ultimatepp.org/src$Controls4U$Controls4U$en-us.ht ml). They admit html text and url.

Dolik.rce is working in a multiplatform web browser Smile
