Re: Images with GtkXmHTML

[Henri Torgemane <henrit yahoo-inc com>]

I tried to use gtkxmhtml for my own project at some point. If I remember correctly,
I had to fetch images and store them in a temp directory then give the path for it
to gtkxmhtml.

The other options out there I'm aware of:

- gtkhtml (ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/gtkhtml/).

This one is a lot better than gtkxmhtml in many regards.
It has however several dependencies on gnome core libs, which might or might not be
a problem in your situation

- cschtml (http://cscmail.net/cschtml/).

A fork from gtkhtml, with as little dependencies as possible.
The problem with this package is that it hasn't been updated since June 2000, so
you'd be missing out on all the update done on gtkhtml since then.

Both widgets are rendering only, giving you a few callbacks for you to handle
networking, caching, URL toying, etc.

It's also probably possible to use gecko (mozilla's rendering engine), although
I don't know how complicated it.
