RENDERTEXT

The poor's man text & html renderer for your favourite low cost media device.

Bugs & limitations:

  • Full unicode character repertoire is not supported. The glyph set is ISO-8859-* based, all rendering is limited to the GD internal font set.
  • Linear mode (--linear option, default mode) joins forced single newlines in text files, with the idea of optimize the reading experience of the free books available under the umbrella of the Project Gutenberg, but there may be cases where forced line jumps are really needed for the correct interpretation of texts, and the detection is rawly heuristical at this time. You can force the file to be rendered more exactly through the --full mode, though.
  • HTML files must reside in the filesystem (saved using the browser). Opening via url schemes is not supported.
  • Someone said a GUI wrapper would be nice...Volunteers?
  • Automatic file language detection is somewhat limited.
  • Automatic file format detection is somewhat limited.
  • There's a total transparency to UTF-8 BOM and similar rare fauna.
  • Images are rendered as they are or downscaled to fit in a full screen size block.

You, the developer, the developer (Ignacio Javier "igjav"), you. Nice to meet you :-).
