Lightweight HTML/CSS rendering engine written in pure Free Pascal

(maybe consider gitlab, because that is what FPC and Lazarus use?)

Would be great to see if it can be integrated into the CHM viewer.

Good luck with that one. This came up with IPro versus THtmlViewer - and that didn't go anywhere.

Would there be interest in seeing this released as open source?

Hoping for some commercial friendly license (like https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FPC_modified_LGPL)

I could use it in the CudaText editor. It can be the internal web-view control and app can expose Python API to this control (like it does for ListBox, TreeView, Buttons). Then Py programmers could improve 'Markdown Preview' plugin. It converts Markdown to HTML and calls yet the OS browser to show HTML.

That's a great idea.

Many thanks.

Great!!! It should be included in OPM!
Many thanks!

That's awesome! I'll have to give it a star ⭐

We should also add it to the Awesome Pascal list https://github.com/Fr0sT-Brutal/awesome-pascal
and share the info through our usual channels (messenger groups, forums, aggregators (www.beginend.net))

Thanks! Let's test it thoroughly though - I am sure there are bugs lurking beneath the surface :-)

Pixie.Canvas.Cairo.pas needs a little bit of tuning, now it is gtk2 only, so LCLGtk2 define should be used for gtk2 and LCLGtk3 for gtk3, I'l l look into if I have enough time, same for Qt/Qt5/Qt6 canvas implementation.

Gtk3 support added, I'll have a look at Qt a bit later - the main issue is that QSvgRenderer is missing from the Pascal interface DLL.

Thanks! Looks good.

At first, I had a problem with compiling:
Pixie.Table.pas(881,43) Error: Illegal type conversion: “Int64” to “Single”

I just removed the type cast, and then it worked.

Lazarus 4.99 (rev main_4_99-3785-gaeac73c5d3) FPC 3.2.2 x86_64-linux-gtk2

Thanks! Looks good.

function TPixieCssLength.CalcPercent(AWidth: pixel_t): pixel_t;
begin
  if not IsPredefined then
  begin
    if FUnits = cssUnitsPercentage then
      //Result := pixel_t(AWidth * FValue / 100.0)  <-Error: Illegal type conversion: "Double" to "Single"
Result := Extended(AWidth * FValue / 100.0)
    else
      Result := pixel_t(Val);
  end
  else
    Result := 0;
end;

Have you noticed that? The scroll bar on the right side of TPixieHtmlView is not functional.

It would be even better if there were a script (such as JavaScript) that could handle the callback event.
