One is ancient and unsupported and depreciated, etc... that is XmHTML... This is a dead project, and has quite a few limitations. The other is GtkHTML and it is brand new... it is not even at version 1.0 yet, and is only avail from Gnome's CVS repository (checkout module gtkhtml, it depends on gnome-print which in turn depends on gnome-xml, also it needs gdk-pixbuf) GtkHTML is a fairly complete widget, rendering HTML much better than XmHTML... it also has hooks to use as an HTML editor, and current CVS included search and replace functionality, as well as cut/copy/paste ... It supports forms, and uses gtk widgets for form elements.. it has a few minor bugs in form support... It does NOT support frames, nor all HTML elements correctly.. (it tends to screw up align="center" fairly often) But all in all it is a good HTML widget, and is being actively developed, so it gets better everyday... I support both HTML widgets in my program CSCMail, (A gtk e-mail client... http://www.cyberdeck.org/cscmail) and I highly recomend GtkHTML if you are going to use any HTML widget in your code... there are Perl bindings for both as well, (available from Gnome's CVS tree as module gnome-perl) although the perl bindings for GtkHTML haven't kept up with the widget and as such do not support search/replace and some other new features. (hint hint to gnome-perl maint.) Just some food for thought... -CZ -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
