CLCBrowser

Introduction

CLCBrowser means "Command line controlled (web) browser". This browser has been developped to show a live preview while you are editing a file in your favourite text editor.

It is fully commandline and remote controllable. Iternally, it starts a server to listen the commands.

It is based on the amasing webkit integrating a javascript engine, so the render is the same than in Google Chrome.
