[daisy] Embedding webpage inside a document

[Karel Vervaeke]

Although I have never done this, here are some ideas to get you started:

You can use includes (but...)
* see here: http://www.google.com/search?q=daisy+einclude
* You will probably need to do some configuring in
external-include-rules.xml too.
* this will only work if the external page contains well-formed xhtml
(all tag pairs nicely closed etc...).  If the page is not well-formed,
you would need to create an extension which cleans up the included
xhtml.
* Be aware of the security aspect: a user could include parts from a
malicious site.

Alternative solution:
just place links and provide a 'preview' screenshot in a tooltip-style
popup (i.e. on mouseover). (Are there any services out there that
maintain screenshots of webpages?)

If you implement any of the above, I would be interested to see how you
did it.

Regards,
Karel
