This document is the main index to the XmHTML Widget Set documentation.
XmHTML provides a widget capable of displaying HTML 3.2 conforming text.
<p>
These pages will be updated regularly as the development of this widget
progresses. Keep an eye on them!
<p>
The XmHTML Widget Set is unique in its kind: it is the only HTML 3.2 widget set
available under the <a href="LGPL.html">GNU Library General Public License</a>.
As such, XmHTML can be used for both commercial and non-commercial
applications.

<h2>XmHTML Widget Set Overview</h2>
The XmHTML Widget Set currently consists of two widgets:
<p>
<ul>
<li>XmHTML, a <b>high</b> performance
<a href="http://www.osf.org">Motif</a> Widget capable of displaying
HTML 3.2 confirming text. Amongst it's many features are the following:
<ul>
<li>builtin image support for X11 bitmaps, X11 pixmaps, GIF87a, GIF89a,
JPEG and PNG;
<li>GIF images are decoded using a <b>patent free</b> scheme;
<li>builtin support for animated GIF89a and animated GIF89a with
NETSCAPE2.0 loop extension. XmHTML supports <b>all</b> GIF89a disposal
methods;
<li>image support covers all X11 visual types and display depths;
<li>delayed image loading;
<li>progressive image loading;
<li>builtin scrolling interface (both keyboard and mouse);
<li>anchors can be displayed as pushbuttons;
<li>anchor can be highlighted for enhanced visual feedback;
<li>autosizing;
<li>capable of displaying text/html, text/plain and standalone images;
<li>supports the full HTML 3.2 standard; as well as the HTML 4.0
<tt><FRAMESET></tt> tags;
<li>an extensive set of callback resources;
<li>full text justification;
<li>smart and user-definable font mapping;
<li>can work with a predefined palette (which it can even create for you);
<li>builtin quantizer using Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion;
<li>four different dithering methods allow one to achieve an
optimum balance between performance and image quality;
<li>HTML Table support;
<li>Support for HTML4.0 Events;
<li>fully compatible with <a href="http://www.lesstif.org">LessTif</a>;
<li>comes with an extensive set of documentation (manual pages, Programmers
and Reference Guide and a collection of examples);
</ul>
<p>
<li>XmBalloon, a very lightweight "tooltip" Widget to show
a one-line string in a small popup-window.
Features include the following:
<ul>
<li>Choose between a rectangular or shaped window;
<li>Popup window can be transparent;
<li>User-configurable Popup and popdown delays;
<li><b>very</b> easy to use;
</ul>
<!--
<li>XmHTMLParser, an Object intended for parsing, verifying and repairing a
HTML document. Features include the following:
<ul>
<li>extensive document verification and repair capabilities;
<li>interactive document checking thru the XmNparserCallback resource;
<li>notification of changes thru the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback resource;
<li>generation of a HTML source document from the verified and repaired
parser output;
<li>aliasing of unknown HTML 3.2 elements;
<li>progressive document parsing;
<li>fully compatible with <a href="http://www.lesstif.org">LessTif</a>;
</ul>
-->
</ul>
<p>
The XmHTML Widget Set also contain a number of routines which allow one to make
full use of XmHTML's image support for purposes other than XmHTML.
<p>
Plans for the future include the migration of XmHTML's image support into a
seperate Image library to allow authors to add image support to their
applications with a single call.
<p>
Features missing in the current version of XmHTML are the following:
<p>
<ul>
<li>Java applets.

offer some solution here.
