If libgtkhtml2 supports them, Xhelp will support them too but I think the best way will be to launch the default web browser for this. > So I think the efforts would be much better spent on completing the Xubuntu > desktop guide and the Xfce docs > than writing an app to show incomplete docs. ... -- Colossus Xarchiver, a Linux GTK+2 only archive manager - http://xarchiver.xfce.org -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
