A '''web browser engine''' (sometimes called '''layout engine''' or '''rendering engine''') is a program that renders marked up content (such as [[HTML]], [[XML]], [[image files]], etc.) and formatting information (such as [[CSS]], [[XSL]], etc.).

== Description ==

A layout engine is typical component of [[web browsers]], [[email clients[[, [[e-book readers]], [[on-line help systems]] or other applications that require the displaying (and editing) of [[web content]].

Engines may wait for all data to be received before rendering a page, or may begin rendering before all data are received.

This can result in pages changing as more data is received, such as images being filled in or a flash of unstyled content if rendering begins before formatting information is received.
