About:
html2ps is a PHP equivalent of the popular Perl script by the same name that accurately converts HTML with images, complex tables (including rowspan/colspan), layers/divs, and CSS styles to Postscript and PDF. Unlike most other HTML2PS/HTML2PDF converters, it offers good CSS 2.1 support and is very tolerant to non-valid HTML. It can convert even CSS-intense sites like aol.com and msn.com.

[»] POLL: light-weight layout engine?
by Konstantin - Dec 3rd 2005 06:12:57

Greetings all html2ps/html2pdf users.

All of you know that html2ps is rather resource-consuming at the moment. Of course, we're doing our best, but... I doubt that the wonder would happen and requirements would decrease more that by 5-10%. On the other side, some users do not need the whole range of CSS/HTML - just a simple text formatting / table layout engine.

Thus, an idea of making an alternative light-weight simpler layout engine have appeared. It could support the most widely used subset of CSS/HTML suitable for most applications and used instead the default (current) engine using the API. We would like to know your opinion about this idea.

Do you need the "lite" layout engine?
Which formatting options you need in this case?
Which CSS/HTML formatting options you use rarely (or do not use at all)?

Thank you for your interest.
