Output rendering

Is there any way to show the rendered HTML rather than the raw HTML (without the wiki engine getting in the way? --Paddy3118 15:22, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Apart from a screenshot? I don't know. I'm obviously wary of providing a raw HTML channel for fear of arbitrary code. (I suppose loading it into a DOM stripping just about any attribute might work, but the result will obviously not be pretty.) --Michael Mol 16:05, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
A screenshot could be a good idea, while I guess every contributor would display the HTML code in a different browser. But while images take space, is rosettacode's hosting able to host all these images? Blue Prawn 19:34, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
As far as bandwidth? I don't know. It really depends on what kind of traffic we get, I suppose. Disk space? RC currently has 30MB of image data in the /images folder, so I'm not particularly worried about it right now. (I do prefer liberal application of tools like pngcrush, though.) As far as variations on implementation...I'm wondering what the current state of offscreen, no-X, no-Win32 render-it-to-a-file is for HTML. That's a plausible way to go about this kind of thing, too. --Michael Mol 22:05, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
Here are two screenshots with the "links" web browser:
CSV to HTML OCaml, with links browser under KDE
2,8K (2866 octets)
CSV to HTML OCaml, with links browser under blackbox
2,4K (2408 octets)
(pngcrunsh saved 24 octets on the blackbox one.)

Heh...I didn't think of that. Using captured output of a text-mode browser to output text suitable for presentation in a fixed-width environment. I might be able to shoehorn that into a MW extension. --Michael Mol 01:51, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Other screenshots for the extra credit.
With a more conventional browser:
CSV to HTML OCaml, with links browser under KDE
This image takes 9,0K.
CSV to HTML OCaml, the extra credit, with links browser in konsole
And this one 7,0K (7087 octets.)
But well do not hesitate to remove any of these screenshots. Blue Prawn 02:48, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
