I asked this on /tech/ but nobody was able to respond. Can anyone here help?
How would you make a 'multimedia document' viewer from scratch in linux?
I know a fair bit of programming but I don't know how this would be done and I really want to do it.
I want to create something that can display a simple markup language (A bit like .md) that includes text, images, buttons and user input forms.
I know how to parse the language into an AST but then how do I lay it out graphically in such a way that users can select text out of it to copy and also resize the window.
