[ASK] HTML For GUI?

[syn0nym]

Hello, here i want to ask, can HTML used to be a GUI like a CEGUI or DGS?

CEF will cause more crashes. CEGUI, pure dx or DGS( baesd on DX) are recommended.

pure dx and DGS can provide more effects than CEGUI.

DGS is based on dx which provides CEGUI-like usage and more widgets/plugins with almost well documented.

BTW, DGS has been alive (developing) for several years.

Hey @thisdp,

what are your thoughts about an actual layout system for DGS like HTML element arrangement? I have looked through the documentation but could not find anything like it. This could be achieved through a plugin that parses HTML and creates DGS elements according to the HTML document. Do you think such a system would be important for DGS, maybe to make it more popular to web developers?

This will be an important evolution to dx based gui. HTML to DX. To implement this idea, we will have a lot of thing to do. Parse HTML is not simple.
