Where is the start point of mozilla rendering/layout engine?

[silverbu...@gmail.com]

Hi,

When user loads a page using mozilla, I assume the following events
happens:
1. download the html files
2. parse the html files to build a dom
3. start layout the dom

Can you please tell me where is the code which is the entry point of
the mozilla rendering engine?

Thank you.

They happen in parallel, but the result should be similar to what would happen
if they were done in series, yes.

You mean step 3 above? See PresShell::InitialReflow and
PresShell::ContentAppended/ContentInserted.
