Sonia.     Today's random Debian Linux package => libgtkxmhtml-dev
.
GNOME is the "GNU Network Object Model Environment"
.
It is a project to build a complete, user-friendly desktop based
entirely on free software.
.
This package contains the include files and static library for the
gtkxmhtml widget, which is used to render HTML pages.
