There's been a few threads on HTMLDisplay framework, but one question
has yet gone unansered (I think): Does the HTMLDisplay framework call
the HTMLRendering libraries in Carbon, or is it a completely different
beast altogether?
It is a completely different beast. How Apple ended up with two
separate HTML rendering frameworks is a tale of heartbreak and woe, as
you might imagine. :->
In an attempt to answer my own question, I tried loading the same file
in example projects in OSX. I used the HTMLRendering example for one,
and GhettoWeb for the other. GhettoWeb rendered the page in roughly the
same amount of time that IE does, 2 seconds. HTMLRendering rendered it
in 7 seconds, and it didn't look as nice. So I suppose one is not based
on the other.
Right. Actually, I believe the last time I checked my code
(HTML.framework was what I worked on at Apple) was substantially
*faster* than IE. And used less memory, and produced a better-looking
rendering for many pages. :->
