http://www.hwaci.com/sw/tkhtml/ is the home page for one of the [T]k [HTML widgets] that
renders HTML into formatted text with hyperlinks.  It is a compiled extension.

Does tkhtml '''only''' do HTML rendering, or is there actual code for
acting as a WWW client in the widget?  I can't tell from the web site.

----

Note that TkHTML uses [LGPL].

[Kitten], a compilation of extensions for the TclKit user, includes compiled versions of tkhtml for Linux, Solaris, and Windows.

[ActiveTcl] 8.3.4.1 includes compiled versions of tkhtml 2.0 [http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActiveTcl/].

----
TkHTML is one of the numerous packages in the [Tcl] community which has its own pecular build requirements.  Be certain to read carefully the COMPILE.txt instructions - and take their instructions literally !  You do '''NOT''' just do a compile; make ; make install on this package!

   1. You have to build in a directory OTHER than in the source directory.

   1. You have to be in that directory, and then invoke the source directory's configure

   1. You '''MUST''' specify the --with-tcl and --with-tk flags, pointing to the source tree

   1. You may very well have to modify the Makefile to do things like add -R flags, flags for locating the libraries for sockets, etc.

[Neil Madden] has provided a neat little 5 line .sig that points one to this wiki - see the code at [Simple Tkhtml web page displayer].

----
TkHTML shares its code base with [BrowseX]; the latter uses [TkHTML],
and [Peter MacDonald] regularly updates the TkHTML CVS repository.
