Re: Html rendering with Tk::HyperText

I found this usage right in the modules pod. It seems your insert should be a loadstring, and you may have to provide full html, not just fragments. Also your use of insert() after MainLoop is useless. Maybe you want it before MainLoop?

This works:

 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::HyperText;

my $mw = MainWindow->new (
    -title => 'HTML Viewer',
);

my $hypertext = $mw->Scrolled ("HyperText",
    -scrollbars   => 'e',
    -wrap         => 'word',
)->pack (-fill => 'both', -expand => 1);
    
my $btnInsert = $mw->Button (
    -text => 'insert',
    -command => \&insert,
)->pack (-side => 'right');

MainLoop;

insert();  # this insert here will only run after
           # the MainLoop is done. Useless use.

sub insert{
  # insert some HTML code

#  $hypertext->insert ("end","<body bgcolor=\"black\" text=\"yellow\">
+"
#    . "Hello, <b>world!</b></body>");

 $hypertext->loadString (qq~<html>
    <head>
    <title>Hello world!</title>
    </head>
    <body bgcolor="#0099FF">
    <font size="6" family="Impact" color="#FFFFFF">
    <strong>Hello, world!</strong>
    </font>
    </body>
    </html>
  ~);

}
