Won't happen anytime soon unless someone from the outside of the Okular teams comes and contributes patches. If you want to do that please contact us before doing any work My plan is to grab the view and the model from XDitView, make it l10n-compatible (because it is not), and replace the controller with Okular. Blocks bug 238534. (In reply to comment #3) > Blocks bug 238534. Of course not. All right, I thought it was obvious. Here is my reasoning: 1. There is no reliable way to get content from a ditroff source without actually processing it with troff. 2. There is no reliable way to get consistent and valid HTML output from groff. 3. There is no reliable way to get xditview to display documents in non-Latin scripts. 4. It is not possible to make groff send PostScript to Okular, and even if it were, this path is probably an overkill. |
