You question is still a little ambiguous (to me anyway). Given the html `<h3>Some heading.</h3><p>Some <i>controvesial</i> but <b>important</b> + text and a list</p><ol><li>This</li><li>That</li><li>and the other</ +li></ol>` [download] Do you want to see `<h3>Some heading.</h3> <p>Some <i>controvesial</i> but <b>important</b> text and a list</p> <ol> <li>This</li> <li>That</li> <li>and the other</li> </ol>` [download] or Some heading. Some controvesial but important text and a list This That and the other Ie. Do you want to see formatted html or text formatted using html? The former would be fairly easy, the latter much harder depending upon how any tag types you wish to support? How about CSS? Jscript etc. etc.? Examine what is said, not who speaks.

Depending on the definition of text box, it is or isn't, and we'll not be able to help until you give us that. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

Maybe Tk::HTML is what you want? Or do you mean a WYSIWYG widget for HTML editing? Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

Some heading.
