What a co-incidence. Right now I am coding Zhtml Viewer using QtWebkit. I
have seen specification of widget/mmf etc but I think such specification is
needed for this task.
for example , my zhtml file contains html/css/js/jQuery stuff in zipped
format.
Zhtml-Viewer is just unzipping .zhtml file and then it look for file
'firstpage' which contain the name of the first page (otherwise it load
index.html)
