Displaying web content:

You might take a look at /Developer/Examples/WebKit/CarbonWeb/ but watch
out: the file TWebView.cp would need to be renamed TWebView.mm for
Metrowerks, since it contains both C++ and Objective-C. I don't know if
it is 10.4 (Tiger) only. I don't know how difficult it would be to adapt
it for use in a PwerrPlant program, nor what trouble it would give you.

You also might look at HTMLRendering.h in Universal/Interfaces/CIncludes/
since it interacts nicely with ControlRefs.

Printing:

Read up in printing in PowerPlant (PowerPlant_Book.pdf, chapter 14).
Basically, in Constructor, you constuct an LPrintout to represent a
printed page, and place an LPlaceHolder in the LPrintout to hold content.

Then, inside your document's DoPrint() function you place the view that
contains the content temporarily into the placeHolder (It will move back
by isteld when the job is done.)
