   Started working on retrieving the output from Balkon's inline text layout via CatTrap. Now for the serious work: Getting the inline spans...

   This bit will be harder because I'll want to incorporate it into my usual datastructures I'm handing to the output. Which is more-or-less my input datastructure, meaning I'd need to handle it's passed in as input...

     Output's fully hooked up in CatTrap! Now to handle input...

     This'll involve flattening the tree & concatenating text after CSS inheritance!

     Traversing the tree to split block elements off was interesting... Required a couple functions! This is especially important since I'm not using an HTML parser that complies with WHATWG-standard error-correction...

     I've basically finished integrating inline text layout into block layout!

     I just need to figure out what numeric conversion factor I want to use with Harfbuzz & Balkon...

     O.K., I've decided to use 96 font-units per inch. Harfbuzz recommends a value of at least 72 (if I'm reading it's documentation correctly) per inch, & I've already got the 96 factor since it's part of the W3C standards now that maintain compatibility with webpages designed for that resolution.

     1px in CSS is not actually a pixel...
