litehtml

This repository contains Primate Labs' fork of litehtml. litehtml is a lightweight HTML5 rendering engine with CSS3 support.

litehtml Build Prerequisites

  • Python 3.7 or later
  • CMake 3.12 or later
  • C++14 compiler

Building litehtml

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

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can also build and run the litehtml unit tests by executing the following command from the build directory using the terminal:

make test

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
