CSS in RvHtmlImporter

andrew · Post by **andrew** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 12:27 pm

Does RvHtmlImporter take in account CSS styles - internal or external? Doesn't seem to in the actiontest demo, but is this a limitation of the component or the demo?

Anyone extended RvHtmlImporter to deal with CSS styles?

This is a limitation of TrvHtmlImporter

First, the last version of the RVHtmlImporter understands CSS saved by TRichView.SaveHTMLEx.

If you need to load arbitrary CSS, you need a thirdparty HTML parser capable to read CSS. For example, I believe, a commercial version of pbear.com components has such parser, and it can be used to read in trichview (not a simple plug&play, of course, a code filling trichview from the parser results is required)

Do you mean importing HTML with arbitrary CSS, using thirdparty parser?
I have a code sample which was sent to me by one TRichView user. It uses PBear.com's parser to load HTML+CSS in TRichView.
PBear's parser is not free, it is a part of their HTML rendering engine.

There has a free version: ThtmlLite HTML Viewer Component. It may be useful.

And here: http://www.torry.net/pages.php?id=216 has a lot of free html parsers.

Maybe somebody make an example for reading htms with css?

Ok, these files were sent to me about 1 year ago by Andrej Sandorf (his email can be found in source files) with comments:

Please note: it's a beta and only used in a private projects. so it's not well tested. And after all: it's the work of two short weekends and i'm still a newbie in generating richview documents as you had seen with those invalid empty hyperlinks (which meanwhile are fixed). But i think it's not that bad.

I attached the zipped source and a zipped demo (with source) (upx-packed).

It's free, with source code? Very interseting.
Now it really makes sense to support their HTML parser to load HTML in TRichView...

Sergey, yes it's free with sources. So adding patch you've got with IFDEFs of course for those who don't want to use pbear's components would be very very welcome
