Understanding Konqueror

[Eva Brucherseifer]

Hi everybody,

while porting Konq/Embedded to Qt2 we've now did our first steps with 
Konqueror code. As expected we now have the first serious non-working stuff. 

Now we are trying to get a general overview of the code and to learn where to 
look if things doesn't work. We have written together several questions and 
we hope you can give us some hints/starting points.

Here are our questions:

- where in konqueror happens the loading of a web url? (the backend?)
- where is the page parsed and where does it decide to branch into html/css/js 
code?
- what are the entry points for the various types of page content? (mainly 
html, css, js)
- where takes the main rendering place?
- in font.cpp the variable scFont is not set - any idea what could trigger 
this? What does usuallly set scFont?
- which of the kdesrc/dropin dirs are most important for displaying web pages, 
which ones are less important and usually not used (like e.g. dom)?

Diagrams are appreciated too :-)

In case this information already exists, we are of course sorry to have it 
overlooked...

Thanks in advance!
eva
