Unfortunately, as far as I know there's no way to edit text using a 
TextView control.  Qt has a QTextEdit widget to do this, but I think 
it's only available starting with 4.0.  I'm not sure about KDE (as 
Joern suggested, it may be that the KDE solution is to embed KWord 
using DCOP.)

However, it should be possible to implement one in the meantime by 
subclassing TextView and intercepting key presses etc.  If not 
TextView, then I guess you'd have to use a DrawingArea and write your 
own HTML parsing code.... ewwww.
