What's wrong with using gtk.Label(bhello/b, use_markup=True) ? haven't got a clue - inexperience led me to believe that didn't exist? :) ok - couldn't wait until tomorrow. i found out why it can't be used: pango markup doesn't support the full syntax of HTML that applications would expect to use. div and code - basic HTML tags - aren't supported. also, some apps use the (awful) a href= javascript:return false; click here /a trick to create a hyperlink, purely to get the cursor to change to link. then they capture click signals on the Label (yes i found out about the trick of creating an Event box around Labels :). python-gtkhtml2 was adequate to support this kind of trick, as is pywebkitgtk. Label.set_use_markup would, unfortunately, not do the trick. worth exploring, though - thanks sven. l. ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

Hey Luke, it's nice to see someone content with WebKit. You should like to see this bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17154 There is actually an unfinished patch. So if someone wants that feature you are welcome to look into it. ciao, Christian ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
