  1. currently maximum size of <img ... src='data:...:base64.....' ..> image is ~7k
  2. maximum length of input line for input html document is 10240 (limited by code in htmllib.cxx)

this patch removes these limitations

test command is:

cat ./test.html | htmldoc --webpage -t pdf - > test.pdf

test.html is attached

I'm OK wth allowing larger strings, but I don't want them to be unbounded - HTMLDOC is used to provide live conversions on web servers.

I'd prefer to have some limits in place to avoid out-of-control memory allocations.

agree... actually it must be limited in htmllib.cxx line(s) reader

10240 is definitely too small, limit it to something x100 times bigger ? is not big problem for server application ?

... and while I do use C++ in HTMLDOC, I've avoided pulling in the standard C++ library since it seems to change with every major OS release on multiple platforms...

i thought this file was renamed to .cxx keeping in mind idea write c++ code :)

imho std::string is very very stable, it can be replaced by std::vector or do you suggest to implement custom byte vector ?

libstdc++ has changed in incompatible ways 6 times in the last ~20 years, making it very hard to provide binaries of HTMLDOC that depend on it.
