Arx Cruz told me: -- The --html is only available when you compile with webkit > 2.8.1 and the library is webkit2gtk. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749798
If the new zenity wasn't built with support to this, you won't see the --html option. -- So please re-compile zenity with such a webkit version :-) ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #749798 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749798 ** Description changed: Zenity was updated a few days ago. Until then there was a bug with --checkbox, which is fixed now :-) But another bug was introduced: zenity's option to render html does not work. A similar bug was squashed in OpenSuse last year, and is still there in Fedora and Centos. But --html works in all versions of the Ubuntu flavours from 12.04 LTS 'Precise' to 15,04 'Vivid', and worked in 'Wily' until this last update of/to zenity 3.16.3. The error output states: "This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible usages." The bug that was squashed last year was fixed in OpenSuse by compiling with WebKit. Maybe that works also now, maybe another tool is necessary now to add capability for html with the option --html. - Arx Cruz knows which tool to use (if no longer WebKit). + Arx Cruz knows which tool to use: + + "The --html is only available when you compile with webkit > 2.8.1 and + the library is webkit2gtk.
