Hi Olivier.
It seems to me that you're going to rewrite Analyzer ;-))
Analyzer is able to export files in HTML.
It saves the PDML and it adds, in the same folder, a couple of other files
(XML style sheet, CSS) so that everything is displayed as HTML in a normal
browser (ehm... Internet Explorer only, so far).
I wouldn't call IE a normal browser, especially if you are talking to an
audience of mixed windows/unix users.
Do XSL stuff with the current Mozilla/Netscape versions shouldn't be too
hard, if you code your things for it.
I have done some experiments with the IE and the Mozilla XSL(T) engine
for a different project, and it worked ok for me.
But every browser has it's edges, as we all now ;-) and IE has lot's of
them :-(
To do that properly you should add support for PSML files, i.e. a file that
keeps the *summary* of the capture (basically, what Ethereal displays in the
window that lists all the packets in the capture).
It may be an excellent idea to share the efforts to print packets in HTML
between Analyzer and Ethereal.
Cheers,

Hi all,
Now that we have PDML output, it's probably not that hard to generate HTML
output.
Additionally, we could apply color filters to the output :)
