The closest thing currently is probably https://github.com/trimental/inlyne which differs in two ways: it only support markdown not arbitrary HTML, and it renders to screen rather to an image. But it's a good start. IMO the main blocker for web rendering in Rust right now is better text layout, and in particular support for embedding non-text content within text ala `display: inline-block`. If/when that is implemented I think we'll be able to do a decent job of rendering basic web pages.

Show HN: Inlyne, a GPU powered, browser-less, Markdown previewer

Markdown files are used universally in almost every git repository and yet you need a browser or electron app like VS Code to quickly open one. To help this I'm trying to create a markdown viewer that renders on the gpu without needing a browser. If this interests you please help try out `cargo install inlyne`. Using it is as simple as `inlyne README.md` and you can set themes, fonts and scaling as you'd like.
