[webkit-dev] WebKit-GTK in embedded system

[Mike Emmel]

I used in several years ago and it was GTK only and seemed to be
capable of what your asking for.
I know its used in Evolution but as far as I know its still just a gtk widget.

Several more exist.

Here is a link to one for some reason the website seemed down when I checked
http://www.dillo.org/
I've used this before also and it should do what your asking.


The wiki page for dillo has a lot of links to a lot of other browsers.

And here is a download link that might work for you if the site is really down.

You would need to do your own research but I'm aware of a number of small html
viewers that might meet your requirements.
Generally they are used for HTML help viewers. It sounded like your
doing something like that.

I posted a message to the GTK App Devel list about the apparent dearth of HTML support in GTK and about the fact that GtkHTML in particular came with no usage documentation whatsoever.  No one there pointed me to any form of documentation but I received a number of recommendations to use WebKit.
