There are two problems with gtkhtml2:
1. Zero documentation.
2. It seems to be unsupported.

Imo, putting effort into mozembed and/or webkit gtk+ bindings
has more perspective.
Those in the know (gnome developers) have told me gtkhtml{2,3} is deprecated in favor of mozembed.

I've been using gtkhtml2 in an application of mine and I'm not a fan of it, to be perfectly honest, it's kind of a hack and a limited one at that. gtkhtml2 has serious problems with selections written to the clipboard as well as printing, mozembed is supposed to remedy a number of these limitations. I tried to convert from gtkhtml2 to mozembed about a year ago and ran into problems loading mozilla extension libraries required by mozembed because the library load path was not properly defined when mozembed was built. I have not revisited this since then but I think that problem may have since been fixed, just a heads up. If you hit that problem you might need to upgrade to the latest, but that might be an issue for installation on systems you have no control over. If you do get mozembed fully working there are others who would appreciate documenting what you did with some example code. While it's true gtkhtml2 has virtually no documentation, my recollection is mozembed's documentation is also quite limited, albeit a bit better than gtkhtml2, most of the documentation seems to be contained in the example code (some of which is just C). Wishing you success!
