HTML Component Library
HTML Component Library is a cross-patform and 100% native HTML rendering library for Delphi and Lazarus that brings all the power of HTML/CSS into desktop and mobile Delphi applications.
Unlike other «HTML-like» libraries it is based on powerful HTML/CSS rendering core with full support of HTML 4.1 and CSS 3 (some of HTML 5 tags are also supported). Tables, shadows, transitions, animations, SVG images, tranforms and much more.
No DLL’s, no ActiveX, no third party libraries dependencies, only pure native Delphi code.
Library is used by thousands of developers from 50 countries, and even by Delphi IDE (from version 11.2).
Compatibility
Library supports all Delphi versions from ancient Delphi 7 to Delphi 12 Athens. For Delphi XE4 - Delphi 12 Athens all FMX platforms are supported - Win32/64, OSX, Android, iOS and Linux.
Linux GUI is supported with FMXLinux library and in Lazarus
Unicode (including Right-to-Left) is supported even for non-unicode Delphi 7 - 2007 using widestrings and TNT Unicode library.
Updates for new Delphi versions are released in one week (max) after Delphi release.
Parts
Library core contains:
- HTML parser with full support of HTML standard and ability to handle incorrect markup. It was tested on thousands of real-world emails so missed closed tags and incorrect tag order is not a problem. Also it is currently fastest native HTML parser for Delphi.
- XML Parser with XPath support.
- CSS parser with CSS 3 support.
- DOM classes with JQuery support.
- SVG rendering library.
- HTTP client with native implementation for Windows and OSX and https support.
- HTML rendering core.
- Set of rendering canvases (GDI, GDI+, Direct2D, FMX, Skia, Android native, iOS native, OSX native, Linux (Lazarus), OpenGL, Cairo (Windows, Linux), Meta, Plain Text)
- Set of HTML-enabled VCL controls including Label, Panel, ListBox, ComboBox, Tabs, CheckBox, RadioButton, SpeedButton, PopupMenu, ComboListBox, Virtual Tree, CategoryButtons, BalloonHint.
- Powerful cross-platform scripting engine
HTML rendering class is separated from drawing class so you can choose between available drawing classes or write your own. Currently library contains GDI, GDI+ and Direct2D canvases for VCL (All Delphi versions and Lazarus), FMX canvas for FMX Win32/64, iOS, Android and OSX and also native Android, iOS and OSX canvases.
Conversions
Following format conversions can be performed using the library on all platforms including mobiles and without external dependencies:
- Convert HTML to PDF
- Convert HTML to plain text
- Convert HTML to images (JPEG, PNG, etc.).
- Convert HTML to SVG
- Convert RTF to HTML, PDF, images, SVG, plain text
- Convert MS Word .DOCX to HTML, PDF, Images, SVG, plain text
Performance
Library core is heavily optimized and extremely fast. Parsing speed is about 100Mb/s so parsing of typical 100Kb document takes only 1ms. Style and layout calculations takes additional 20ms for 100Kb document.
Using of native canvas on Android provides smooth scrolling and zoom similar to native Android applications (much better than FMX controls) and correct text rendering with full RTL support, kerning pairs and baseline alignment.
How to use
Drop THtPanel on form and set it’s HTML property. That’s all you have to do to get HTML viewer with automatic scrollbars, build-in zoom support (Ctrl+Wheel or zoom gesture), gestures support for both VCL and FMX, picture loading (from file or internet) with BMP, JPEG, PNG, ICO and GIF support, hints (HTML title attribute) animations and transitons (for elements with :hover or :active styles).
To simply draw HTML on Canvas write
Doc := THtDocument.Create; try Doc.Parse(HTML); Doc.Draw(Canvas, Rect); finally Doc.Free end;
Why do I need it?
VCL and FMX contains a lot of powerful controls with many features. But what if you need something non-standard, for example put an image into listbox item?
Of course writing OnDraw event handler and using canvas methods is a simplest way... as long as image is not placed inside the text and text not contains several lines and some formatting. With HTML enabled list box you can just add Some text with <b>formatting</b> and <img src="myimage.png"/>image </p>
How many lines of code is neccesary to draw simple rounded rectangle with shadow and gradient? Or tiled background image Or symbol table Changing HTML property could turn simple Panel into this
or this
Also there is an Applications Gallery page demonstrating using of the HTML Library in a real applications.
What if I need an HTML Editor?
There is a fully featured cross-platform WYSIWYG HTML editor based on HTML Component Library. Please see full description there:
How about HTML-based reports?
Please see HTML Report Library page.

HTML Component Library, HTML Report Library, HTML Editor Library version 3.61 released.
What's new:
This update introduces new HTML Email framework, designed for simplifying adding email client
features to Delphi applications.
It has no GUI dependencies, so can be used for service application as well as for desktop clients.
Framework doesn't contains own classes for POP3/IMAP/SMTP protocols or database access but instead
can use any existing internet/DB library, which can be easily replaced without rewriting main application.
Features:- Background loading (each account is checked in a separate thread).
- Detection of main (body) part.
- SSL/StarTLS support.
- Automatic DB tables/triggers creation (current version has SQL scripts for Firebird and Oracle).
- Creation of email summary (annotation).
- Automatic creation of full text search index (for any SQL database).

- Any internet library can be used for POP3/IMAP protocols (current version contains adapters for Indy, ICS and Synapse).
- Any DB access library can be used to store emails (current version include FireDAC adapter).
Current version contains adapters for Indy, ICS, Synapse and Firedac, and SQL scripts for Firebird and Oracle.
Sample email client application with full source is included (/Email Client XE6-XE101). Sample application
uses FireDAC library so can be compiled in Delphi. XE6+.
You can also download compiled demo using the following link (no installation required):

19.10.2015
HTML Component Library, HTML Report Library, HTML Editor Library version 3.4 released. What's new:
This version introduces a new rendering architecture: now drawing is fully separated from other
library parts and can be implemented via any graphics library.
For example you can chooose between GDI and GDI+ canvas in VCL or between FMX and native canvas on Android.
There are two global variables in htcanvas unit: HtDefaultCanvasClass and HtDefaultFMXCanvasClass
for global selection. Also HtPanel/HtmlEditor has the CanvasClass property for local selection.
By default GDI+ canvas is used for VCL app, and FMX canvas for FMX (don't forget to
include htcanvasgdip and fmx.htcanvasfmx to your project).
GDI canvas (htcanvasgdi unit) is much faster than GDI+ and provide precise text rendering
without GDI+ text issues, so it's use is preferable for text editing or displaying large text documents.
But it has some limitations - rounded rectangles are not smooth and pictures support are limited
by Delphi VCL, so for old IDE version only bitmaps and JPEG are supported, for XE+ also GIF and PNG.
You can test it using compiled Editor demo (see link below) with live canvas selection.
Android canvas (fmx.htcanvasandroid) provides much fasted and better rendering than default FMX canvas.
Correct drawing of kerning pairs, precise baseline alignment, RTL (BiDi) texts, fast shadows,
zoom for any level without quality loss and PDF export.
Now even large documents can be displayed with smooth scrolling and zoom almost like in native Android applications.
You can test it in compiled android .apk.
