Embedded Gtk+ system: HTML display

In an embedded ARM-based system, HTML display is needed.  This does not include web browsing, just display of HTML documents.  There appears to be no solution readily available.

I've done a lot of searching of the Internet.  The possibilities I've found are:


1.  GtkMozEmbed

This is apparently a widget that includes the entire Mozilla browser with Gecko engine, which sounds like a non-starter for a memory-constrained embedded system.


2.  GtkHTML

Described thus in the Gnome web pages:  ""The GtkHTML package contains a lightweight HTML  rendering/printing/editing engine. This is an evolution specific application at this time."

No usage documentation.

A little build documentation states the following dependencies:
gnome-print >= 0.25
gdk-pixbuf >= 0.8.0
gal >= 0.7.99.5    
pspell            
bonobo >= 0.32    
GConf >= 0.9      
libghttp >= 1.0    
libglade          
Most of these we do not need and do not currently ship.

The mailing list http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtkhtml is mentioned in the README file of the GtkHTML download.  This list does not exist and I have found no other.


Is there some other widget or library I have missed?

Hi,
you could take a look at the old gtk1 based dillo web browser.
dillo is quite good for simple html like help or man pages.
You can find an enhanced version at

Ciao,
ZZ
