Re: REF: Re: html rendering in capi...
I have lots of documentation that could be easy to translate to HTML
(automatically, from the ASCII files), but would require huge work to
make publishing quality docs within LW. The documents need also
evaluation that would dynamically fill up the HTML template with
graphs.
Also, the user should be able to evaluate selection on the HTML page
.... integrated LW editor & listener pane with COCOA functionality
would be cool.
I tried mixin capi:cocoa-view-pane +
listener-pane/interactive-pane/editor-pane in order to be able to
just copy text from the web-view pane --> error.
Maybe there is another solution. Now it looks like that the best you
can get is to have LW menus and buttons that set up a new web page on
the web-view pane.
