HTMLview is a MUI class that will load, parse and display HTML formatted text.

The class supports most of the HTML 4.0 standard as defined by W3C, it is
infact often more accurate than most browsers, but unfortunately this is rarely
seen as a feature.

It is very well suited for mail programs or similar, which just wants to
display HTML fast, and the class really is fast, I have still not seen anything
like it :-)

Please note that the class should be regarded as a prototype - I'm making a lot
of changes, but most of them are done parallel to the currently available MCC,
so it'll take a while before you'll enjoy my efforts of implementing stylesheet
support and similar.

With the included demo then you can use the class as an "offline browser", but
please do not include it on anything which is sold for money (like a CD-ROM)
without my written consent. This only applies if the class is used to browse
the "contents" of the sold media. You are free to re-distribute the archive, as
long as you leave it intact and only require a minimal fee for your
distribution.

Features

    * Incremental rendering of the page, using a seperate process for the
      parsing, which allows the MUI application to be fully responsive while
      chewing on a document.
    * Progressive display of images for which a decoder module exists
      (currently GIF / GIFAnim, JPEG & PNG)
    * Text can be marked and copied to the clipboard.
    * Allows searching in the document.
    * Extensive HTML support, including floating tables with background images,
      frames, forms etc.
    * And, it's very fast... 

Known "bugs"

    * Text outside a <Body> ... </Body> pair is not shown. Thus those pages
      which doesn't have such tags are simply rendered blank.
    * Entities without an ending semi-colon are not interpreted. E.g. &amp must
      be written as &amp; before HTMLview accepts it.
    * The Floyd Steinberg dither has a tendency to append less diffusion to
      edges, which can make tiled backgrounds look as if a line was drawn
      between each tile.
    * The datatype wrapper, for image decoding, only seems to work with the P96
      picture.datatype.
