Re: CERN Launches Line Mode Browser Emulator [via Web History Community Group]

As someone involved with the project, it was amazing to participate.
Spelunking the source code for the line mode browser was really interesting

it had its own hardwired "style sheet"

It parsed HTML character by character, and drew to the screen character by
character

It supports strange never seen before elements like <HP1> (highlighted
phrase)

There are some excellent posts on the project, as well as interviews with
the folks involved
