The title made me think this could actually layout and paint HTML, but I couldn't find anything remotely layout-related in the source tree. Then I found this comment saying even block sizing isn't done: https://github.com/lexbor/lexbor/issues/219#issuecomment-207.... Looks like a nice groundwork, though. It's nice to see things like parsing and Unicode being part of the same source tree.

We have a decent chunk of layout and paint implemented in an HTML renderer I'm working on (https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz), which is targeting the "electron" use case (but with a rust scripting interface rather than a JS one).

The implementation is currently very immature and there are a lot of bugs and missing features (I only got a first cut of inline layout working yesterday (but we already have flexbox and grid implemented)), but we're already seeing pretty decent results on a bunch of real-world web pages and hope to be at the point where we can render most of the web (excl. JS) in the next 6 - 12 months.

There are some screenshots on the PR for the inline layout branch https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz/pull/63

Sometimes it's really hard to tell the exact boundary between current day software development and elaborate jokes:

> Blitz builds upon:

> Parley for text/inline-level layout

> Currently, Parley directly depends on four crates: Fontique, Swash, Skrifa, and Peniko.

> Peniko builds on top of kurbo

I interpreted your comment as this being unfinished but then I heard that PHP has already switched from libxml2 to Lexbor so I guess it's production-ready.

I guess PHP isn't using it for Rendering (as in the title), just the parsing parts.
