Have you looked at Tkhtml?

Quote: Tkhtml is a Tcl/Tk widget that displays HTML. Tkhtml is
implemented in C. It is a true widget, not a metawidget implemented
using the Text or Canvas widgets of the Tcl/Tk core.

I've used TkHTML in several of my applications. It's fine if all you
need is basic HTML--i.e. HTML 3.2. It hasn't been updated in several
years, and so doesn't support more modern HTML features like CSS. Its
display is rather ugly. There was an ambitious attempt to update it,
called TkHTML 3, but the project's developer and sponsor moved on to
other projects, and now it's just in an alpha, unmaintained state.
Since I'm a Mac-only developer, I'm investigating the possibility of
simply embedding a Cocoa WebKit view inside a Tk widget and using that
in my apps. This can be done on Windows using IE and the OpTcl extension.
