    I have something, I hear that HTML Engines in general have bad security. I was wondering how you plan to combat that?

    Here is no any javascript/cookies/passwords. Combat what?
    This engine do only one thing: Parse text and creates queue of graphics commands. In general.

    Well speaking from a commercial company standpoint, we'd be happy to pay a per site fee to use a closed source offering, as long as it did enough to meet our needs (which incidently don't go far beyond what you have done already) If it was per seat we'd also concider that. But per title i don't think so. Once you get into that area we may as well write our own.

    Awesome work btw

    Any thoughts on supporting basic tables?

    Thanks for reply.

    About tables... Table is a set of cells where each cell is a html text again. To make tables like in real html, it needs something like grid-layout-engine inside current forward-parsing-engine. This will eat memory and processor time as much as table grows.

    There is two ways:
    1) Application level, where someone create grid somehow (e.g. with GUILayout.* or just Rect cells = new Rect[cols,rows]) and draw these rectangles using RESULTs
    2) Engine level, where engine parse <table> tags with some different than forward-parsing. Compile each <td> as plain... Well... I think it's possible if table columns will be fixed-sized like <td width=...>... Will think more.

    Great Work. I think that open source (on GITHUB) or something like that would be great. I would like to help expand the tag supports and some css suport.
