Re: mothra ignores <br>, funky text entry

[cinap_lenrek@gmx.de]

mothra will never reach that level. mothra doesnt know about the
boxes. it sees a html page as a list of rectangles that can have
text or images or panels in it. it has no box model, no idea of
the nesting hirarchy of stuff, no dom.

the little things that got added to mothra where simple and well
within its capabilities.

tables, divs, css, js... all that will never work with the data
structures mothra uses.

so shouldnt we spend our time writing a real webbrowser that can
potentially do all these web things? i dont want to. i want to
spend *less* time trying to emulate the braindamaged stuff coming
from traditional operating systems and concentrate more on what
we can do with plan9.

mothra is still good for lots of things. even with its flaws and
somtimes it is usefull especially because it does *not* implement
some major web feature :)
