Hi and welcome to devnet,
As a really basic html renderer, you can take a look at the sources of QTextBrowser.
For something more fancy, you can take a look at KHTML which was forked into WebKit which as forked into Chromium which powers the QtWebEngine module.
The Gecko engine might also be of interest since it powers Firefox.

thanks , but i was thinking of making some kind of a rendering engine with something similar to SDL or maybe Pygame using python-script instead of JavaScript, the app and the whole interface will be in qt and all the stuff related to networking and interaction with the OS ,Tab management, etc , but i want a 2D engine so that i can make the web pages and maybe some custom tags
