OgreML: Ogre HTML parser

Hey all.

Every once in a while I want to embed documents in Ogre Scenes. I use Ogre mostly for writing teaching tools that can benefit from VR/3D elements and I could really use an easy way of displaying documents with embeded images that can do a good job of pagination and word-wrapping etc.

I've looked around for such a beast a few times but there doesn't seem to be anything around to fulfill this need?

Have I missed something? Is there an easy way of displaying a HTML document (say, to an image) which can then be cleanly displayed as a textured quad?

If not, lemme know if anyone else could benefit and I might be able to pluck up the courage to write said plugin.

There's Navi for starters. If you look around, there are also plugins (at varying degrees of completeness) for embedding Flash.

Niiice! :)

As always.. if it's a good idea... then Ogre's already got it sorted (or there's something in the pipeline).

Thanks Frenetic. (it's your fault! blame Canaduh.)
