[Gambas-user] Any (easy) way to render RTF or HTML with gambas?

[Fernando Cabral]

No, Lenz, reading the file is not te issue. This is easy and can be done
with several different methods.
What I am looking for is a way to render the html file (or rtf file). So, I
want to read the file and display its contents.
Displaying (rendering the html) is the issue.

To make it more concrete. Imagine there is a help file in html. When the
user clicks on the proper button, I'll read it
and display it so the user can see the document. I want a method to display
it rendered as it would be rendered in a browser.

The editor might be able to do it. But then, I can't find instructions on
how to create it, load and display de text.

I have also found two lines of code that hint on the way to do it, but I
can not learn enough from them. Says the guy:

Then in Gambas2 I have a form with Textedit1  and I add:
textedit1.text=file.load("filename.html")  in my form_open sub

I would guess textedit1.text is in a form that, when displayed, will render
the file correctly.
But then again, I can't find the rest of the code.

Thank you.
