Thank Daniel and David. I have compiled the libxml source code and one
simple sample which uses the parser.
The total size of the code is only 14K. I am writing a WML browser
and I hope the
size of the whole browser to be within 500K. I think I was wrong to
say "libxml is too big for me".
Thanks again!

Yes, what Daniel said.
I am statically linking libxml under win32, and it adds approximately
35k to my code. The only parts I am using are the parser and validator.
Just a couple of calls from my code. I do not do embedded programming,
but I suspect that 35k would be reasonable, and you would be
cross-compiling
anyway (Right? gcc for a palm pilot? I am out of my league here to be
sure).
You will find more details in a good OS or systems text, you might find
a compiler text useful as well. If you are really gung-ho, check out
John Levine's new book on linkers.
Ciao,
Dave D
