[poppler] pdftohtml, separate CSS file

[Josh Richardson]

I was planning to make it HTML5 and XHTML5 compliant (polyglot<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglot_markup>).  We need some of the HTML5 features, e.g. for text rotation across platforms.  I have implemented text-rotation support btw., just trying to sort some of this formatting stuff out before submitting the patch.

Thanks for the pointers.

As one with 10+ years with CSS, XHTML1.x and now HTML 5 I have to ask which versions of the XHTML specification you plan on supporting.

I would assume you would target XHTML1.1 Strict and leave the notion of the XHTML 1.1 Modular alone as we've all departed on to HTML 5.

Which brings me to the question, pdftohtml should include output to HTML 5, and since it's on all platforms perhaps one should utilize the WebKit HTML 5 Parser, especially since GTK+ and Qt are all in. GTK+ is even modularizing out their work so to separate the JavaScript engine to be reusable within other GTK+ projects.
