If you find an error (shouldn't be so hard ;-), could you report me please?
1) History
-In early 2003, I was looking for a good HTML WYSIWYG editor, and I didn't find what I wanted! So I decided to code one. After a quick search, I've found a dead project, Kafka, in kdenonbeta, which was supposed to become an full-featured WYSIWYG editor based on khtml. But at this time (2000-2001 I think) khtml wasn't ready. So it was abandonned.
-Meanwhile khtml have been greatly improved, partially thanks to the Apple Safari merging. Then I started to hack kafka a bit, adding basic cursor navigation, insertion/deletion, and so on... But I quickly realised that it would be too hard and too long for me alone to come to a decent editor. So I was looking to join an existing project, and I choose Quanta+, basically because it was (and still is, in my humble opinion) the best HTML editor in the KDE environment.

It seemed I came to Quanta+ exactly at the best time: they were considering to add WYSIWYG capabilities! So for now one year, I've been coded VPL during my free time, and I am not far from a stable status.

The Node class handle the pointers to the parent, next, previous and first child Node. *Each* Node has a valid pointer to a Tag. The Tag takes care to remember all the information concerning the Tag itself, like the attributes, the type, etc...)
One QTag per Element is created from the .tag files when Quanta is started. Each QTag contains all the DTD information about the Tag. E.g. the "IMG" Qtag says that it is a single Tag, and what are its attributes. You can get a QTag with QuantaCommon::tagFromDTD, but don't delete the QTag!
-Now to khtml. The class KHTMLPart is the HTML renderer widget of konqueror. It internally works with a Node Tree (another? Yep!) but these Nodes are real DOM::Nodes. (From now, I will call it the DOM::Node tree) Each of the DOM Nodes is khtml-internally linked to a rendering Node i.e. a change made to one DOM::Node will update the HTML rendering cf /path/to/kde/include/dom/*.h and also in the tdelibs cvs module, cf the nice tdelibs/khtml/DESIGN.html. WARNING about DOM::Nodes, they are just interfaces!!

5) VPL classes.
VPL has several classes, but note sometimes it is not really object oriented, but I will clean up soon.
-* KafkaWidget(kafkahtmlpart.[h|cpp]): Derived from KHTMLPart, it uses the caret mode implemented by Leo Savernik in khtml (that means we don't have to care about cursor navigation). It handles every keypress in order to edit the widget (backspace/delete/return/<insertion of a letter>) and modify only the DOM::Node tree (not the Node tree).

* KafkaDocument(wkafkapart.[h|cpp]): It takes care to load the DOM::Node tree from the Node tree, and when a change is made to the DOM::Node tree, it apply it in the Node tree. It basically takes care of the synchronization of the trees.
