NAME

Gtk2::Html2 - (DEPRECATED) HTML Viewer widget for Gtk2-Perl

SYNOPSIS

# NOTE: not a complete example, just a quick overview
use Gtk2;
use Gtk2::Html2;

# create a new view.
my $view = new Gtk2::Html2::View;
$scrolled_window->add ($view);

# create and hook up a document
my $document = new Gtk2::Html2::Document;
$document->signal_connect (request_url => \&request_url);
$document->signal_connect (link_clicked => \&link_clicked);
# tell the view to display this document.
$view->set_document ($document);

# feed data into the document, which will parse it as it goes.
# if necessary, the request-url signal will fire when the
# the document needs to fetch a stylesheet or image or whatever.
$document->clear;
$document->open_stream ("text/html");
while ($data = fetch_data_chunk_from_someplace()) {
    $document->write_stream ($data);
}

DESCRIPTION

NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE

This module has been deprecated by the Gtk-Perl project. This means that the module will no longer be updated with security patches, bug fixes, or when changes are made in the Perl ABI. The Git repo for this module has been archived (made read-only), it will no longer possible to submit new commits to it. You are more than welcome to ask about this module on the Gtk-Perl mailing list, but our priorities going forward will be maintaining Gtk-Perl modules that are supported and maintained upstream; this module is neither.

Since this module is licensed under the LGPL v2.1, you may also fork this module, if you wish, but you will need to use a different name for it on CPAN, and the Gtk-Perl team requests that you use your own resources (mailing list, Git repos, bug trackers, etc.) to maintain your fork going forward.

The Gtk2::Html2 extension allows a perl developer to use the gtkhtml2 html display widget with Gtk2-Perl.

gtkhtml2 is tuned for html display; for html editing, you want gtkhtml3. There appears to be very little documentation about gtkhtml2 on the web. Take what you can get, and add to this module's documentation if you can.

To discuss gtk2-perl, ask questions and flame/praise the authors, join gtk-perl-list@gnome.org at lists.gnome.org.

Also have a look at the gtk2-perl website and sourceforge project page, http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net

Gtk2, Glib, perl.

You will probably also want libraries for fetching and otherwise manipulating urls; Gnome provides Gnome2::VFS in addition to the venerable native perl LWP.

BUGS

This is very alpha, and very incomplete. The DOM stuff is not bound at all.
