XmHTML

XmHTML is a Motif widget capable of displaying HTML 3.2 documents. Features include a very good HTML parser (which is as also available as a Widget) with excellent document verification and repair capabilities (the best I've ever seen), built in support for X11 bitmaps, pixmaps, GIF87a & GIF89a (using a patent free LZW decoding method), animated gifs, JPEG (baseline and progressive) and PNG (all features supported), anchor highlighting, text justification, full HTML <FRAME> support, HTML frames and many more. It also comes with four examples demonstrating possible use of the XmHTML widget. XmHTML is currently in Beta stage and publically available.

User Comments:

  • LOVE that parser :-)
    Susan Liebeskind
  • It is rapidly developing by a high skilled professional. It's alive, unlike many commercial software! And there are some utilites and approaches inside it that are interesting for me as a programmer. I like GPL licensing also.

  • It's license. Also like the fact that it is being updated frequently.
