The HTAppName and the HTAppVersion are two strings that must be defined in the
application, for example
const char HTAppName = "MyApp";
const char HTAppVersion = "1.0";
Unfortunately the modularity of version 3.1 is not completed with respect to
the HTML parser mechanism consisting of the stream pipe:
SGML -> HTML -> HText
It is therefore required to provide dummy stubs for the HText functions which
are declared in HText.h. They can just be dummy functions like
HText_appendText(...) { }
This is solved in the next version where the core parts of the Library does
not any longer depend on converters or protocol modules. This means that it
will become a lot easier to make a tailored application with only the
converters and protocol you need.
You can have a look at how the HTEventRequestTerminate() is implemented in the
Line Mode Browser.
Gee - this doesn'y look very smart - but I can ensure you all that the next
version will become a lot more handy to handle as an application programmer!
