http://www.hwaci.com/sw/tkhtml/ is the home page for one of the Tk 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 [L1 ].
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!
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.

rendering HTML - see http://www.hwaci.com/sw/tkhtml .
