htmlize-view.el - please test on different OS:es

[Lennart Borgman]

The file htmlize-view.el tries to make it possible to print easily from 
Emacs on different operating systems where a full fledged web browser is 
available.

Probably you can print easily from your web browser on most system. The 
function htmlize-view-buffer sends a html file to your web browser that 
looks like your current buffer in Emacs.
I would be glad if this was tested on different operating systems. I 
have tested this on MS Windows.

You can find htmlize-view.el at http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/DL/elisp/. 
You will also need htmlize.el:

On Mac OS X 10.3.9 it works extremly well: I can see € and many other 
glyphs from ISO 8859-15 or ISO 8859-16 encoded texts. In Carbon Emacs 
it's almost impossible to view a text correctly when it's not held in 
some proprietary Mac encoding. htmlize-view.el and htmlize.el change 
all the empty rectangles into visible glyphs. Colours and features like 
bold or italic shape are preserved.

As a final test I opened in Carbon Emacs the file utf8.txt from the 
Kermit distribution. It has coded the first 64K Unicode glyphs. Since I 
have fonts for almost each code point I could see all these glyphs in 
my browser. And it's very easy and free of problems (until now, but 
this, of course, can change) to print them into a PDF file.


I think htmlize-view.el and htmlize.el have the potential to become the 
default print method for Carbon Emacs. And it should be possible to 
write a little (Objective) C programme to convert HTML to PDF without 
an Internet browser, since Apple provides powerful APIs.
