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

[Fernando Cabral]

Thank you Gianluigi. It seems there more than one way to skin this cat.
I believe the problem has to do with my ignorance concerning Gambas.
I have just found a DocumentView that will probably work too.
Since I have a full example of this usage, I'll probably  try it first.

Thank you.
