litehtml Goals

TODO

headless

litehtml includes headless, a simple headless web browser (i.e., a web browser without a graphical user interface). headless downloads web pages and save the rendered output to a PNG file.

headless demonstrates how to use litehtml and integrate it into an application. headless also provides a quick and convenient way to test litehtml against arbitrary web pages.

headless Build Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or later
• CMake 3.12 or later
• C++14 compiler
• Libraries
  • fmt
  • fontconfig
  • freetype2
  • libcurl
  • libpng
  • libjpeg

On Ubuntu the easiest way to install the prerequisites is with the following command:

sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev \
    libfmt-dev \
    libfontconfig-dev \
    libjpeg-dev \
    libpng-dev

Building headless

headless also uses CMake as its build system. Build litehtml on macOS or Linux by executing the following commands from the terminal:

git submodule init
git submodule update
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DBUILD_HEADLESS=1
make
