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.
