Purpose: discuss options a Tk programmer has for rendering [HTML].

----
[tkhtml] is the widget most frequently referrenced.


[JMN] With the sheer complexity involved in HTML rendering nowdays - surely it would make sense to embed a leading browser engine rather than trying to play catchup on features all the time with a custom renderer.
Is anyone currently looking at Tcl bindings to the Gecko engine behind firefox? see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/embedding/
What happened to the TkGecko project? http://wiki.tcl.tk/tkgecko
The document referenced, mentioned an aim of making the extension generally usable and stable by the end of 1999.
