Re: Browser gadget sugguestions for a DUIM app
Probably the best way to do this would be to import an off-the-shelf
HTML control into DUIM. I'm afraid I don't know what the availability
of such a control is, tho'.
Note that Deuce -- which you can use as an ordinary user library --
supports styled and colored text, embedded graphics, selection,
scrolling, pop-up menus, etc. What it *doesn't* support is anything
that reads HTML (or something HTML-like) and then renders it
into Deuce display structures. This could be done, but it's more
than a day's work!
