Hello Aman,
I'm not sure what you wanna do. If you want to display text files (in
case of html show the HMTL-source code) you should have a look at the text
widget in gtk-demo.
If you want to display HTML pages like a webbrowser does there is some
kind of a html-widget. It is not included in the GTK+ distribution, so you
have to google for it.

Well, are you asking how to read text files in general or are you just
looking for a way how your program will know when there is new data to
read? In the latter case have a look at g_io_create_watch().

I learned GTK with the tutorial (http://gtk.org/tutorial/). You should
fully read it to understand how GTK works and to get an overview what
kinds of widgets there are. Try to understand the examples and prove
yourself by modifying them. After you have that basic understanding the
API reference will be you friend to find out more details. Also have a
look at the gtk-demo program. It shows you examples how different things
can be done together with the source code.
