Version 7 of Tk Web Browsers

Updated 2002-03-16 01:01:37

"Are there tcl/tk scripts for reading web pages?" The answer is that there are many different resources, from one-liners to sophisticated full powered applications. There are a lot of features and preferences, and some limitations that the user might consider as they get started.

Most of these are pretty simple, so the feature lists here is mostly a wish/todo list. The basic features a browser usually provides are html rendering, url following and local hardrive file loading.

Some features to look for are:

  • link coloring
  • source viewing
  • plugin support
  • image viewing
  • scripting (tclets, javascript, etc?)
  • i18n features

Here is a listing of some resources.
