Version 13 of A TclOO Tkhtml 3.0 megawidget - example of how to render html+css

Here is an example code which shows, how to render a html file - styled with css. Although nothing brand new, the Tkhtml3 widget works surprisingly well with html-code + e.g. Bootstrap css framework.

I find it very convenient to have a lightweight html widget available, which might be used as a docu-reader, help-viewer, etc...

Since the interface between tkhtml-2 and tkhtml-3 has changed, it took me quite a while to figure out, how to render a page with Tkhtml3.

In the meantime, I carried over some of the functionality from the hv3 browser (selection manager, integrated search+find widget).

The complete package can be downloaded from here: [L1 ]

APN - 2017-03-02 Looks very nice. Am going to take it for a spin to see if it can replace my Windows CHM file. Which Tkhtml3 distribution are you using? And do you happen to know the level of CSS support?

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Purpose:
#  A TclOO class implementing the html3widget megawidget.
#  Might be usefull as a starting point.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# TclOO naming conventions:
# public methods  - starts with lower case declaration names, whereas
# private methods - starts with uppercase naming, so we are going to use CamelCase ...
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# for development: try to find autoscroll, etc ...

# COMMANDS:
#   html3widget::html3widget path ?args?
#
# WIDGET-COMMANDS:
#         <widget> parseurl 'url'
#        <widget> parsefile html_file

# examples:
#   set html3 [html3widget::html3widget .t]
#        pack $html3
#         $html3 parseurl "http://wiki.tcl.tk/48458"
#        $html3 parsefile [file join $dir "demo_doc/tkhtml_doc.html"]
#



# for the moment, we keep required add-on packages
# down below *this* directory...

set dir [file normalize [file dirname [info script]]]
set auto_path [linsert $auto_path 0 [file join $dir "."]]


# in addition, these are the packages we essentially need:

package require Tk
package require -exact Tkhtml 3.0
package require scrolledwidget
package require selectionmanager
package require findwidget

# replace http package with native Tkhtml functionality:
catch {package require http}


package provide html3widget 0.2.1

# Purpose:
#  A TclOO class implementing the findwidget megawidget.

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Widget Command:
#   findwidget::findwidget path
#
#
# Widget Specific Options:
#        configure interface not implemented

# Widget Sub-commands:
#   
#    getlabelwidget
#                returns the label widget, might be used to
#       configuration the label with custom image, etc...
#
#    getbuttonwidget
#       returns the button widget
#
#    register_htmlwidget <html3 widget>
#        call this function to establisch communication
#        between findwidget and html3widget
#
#    register_closecommand <command>
#        specify a command to be executed, once the widget
#        is set to ho-show
