It has the following general form: +.DS C +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.DE +\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. The following +commands are possible for scrolledhtml widgets: +.SH "ASSOCIATED METHODS" +.LP +.nf +.ta 4c 8c 12c +\fBbbox\fR \fBcompare\fR \fBdebug\fR \fBdelete\fR +\fBdlineinfo\fR \fBget\fR \fBindex\fR \fBinsert\fR +\fBmark\fR \fBscan\fR \fBsearch\fR \fBsee\fR +\fBtag\fR \fBwindow\fR \fBxview\fR \fByview\fR +.fi +.LP +See the "text" manual entry for details on the standard methods. +.SH "INHERITED METHODS" +.LP +.nf +.ta 4c 8c 12c +\fBexport\fR \fBclear\fR +.fi +.LP +See the "scrolledhtml" manual entry for details on the inherited methods. + +.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS" +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::scrolledhtml\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If +one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command +modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in +this case the command returns an empty string. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::scrolledhtml\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName\fR \fBimport\fR ?\fIoption\fR? \fIhref\fR +Load html formatted text from a file. \fIHref\fR must exist. +If \fIoption\fR is -link, \fIhref\fR is assumed to be relative +to the application's current working directory. Otherwise, +\fIhref\fR is assumed to be relative to the path of the last +page loaded. \fIHref\fR is either a filename, or a reference +of the form \fIfilename\fR#\fIanchorname\fR. In the latter form, +fIFilename\fR and/or \fIanchorname\fR may be empty. +If \fIfilename\fR is empty, the current document is assumed. +If \fIanchorname\fR is empty, the top of the document is assumed. +.TP +\fIpathName\fR \fBpwd\fR +Print the current working directory of the widget, i.e. the directory of the +last page loaded. +.TP +\fIpathName\fR \fBrender\fR \fIhtmltext\fR ?\fIwd\fR? +Display HTML formatted text \fIhtmltext\fR. \fIWd\fR gives the base +path to use for all links and images in the document. \fIWd\fR defaults +to the application's current working directory. +.TP +\fIpathName\fR \fBtitle\fR +Return the title of the current page, as given in the <title>...</title> +field in the document. + +.SH "HTML COMPLIANCE" +.LP +This widget is compliant with HTML 3.2 with the following exceptions: +.LP +No features requiring a connection to an http server are supported. +.LP +Some image alignments aren't supported, because they are not supported by +the text widget. +.LP +The <br> attributes dealing with image alignments aren't supported. +.LP +Automatic table sizing is not supported very well, due to limitations of the +text widget +.RE +.SH EXAMPLE +.DS + package require Iwidgets 4.0 + option add *textBackground white + + iwidgets::scrolledhtml .sh -fontname helvetica -linkcommand "this import -link" + + pack .sh -padx 10 -pady 10 -fill both -expand yes + + .sh import ~/public_html/index.html +.DE +.SH BUGS +.IP +Cells in a table can be caused to overlap. ex: + <table border width="100%"> + <tr><td>cell1</td><td align=right rowspan=2>cell2</td></tr> + <tr><td colspan=2>cell3 w/ overlap</td> + </table> +It hasn't been fixed because 1) it's a pain to fix, 2) it will slow +tables down by a significant amount, and 3) netscape has the same +bug, as of V3.01. +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +Sam Shen +.IP +This code is based largely on his tkhtml.tcl code from tk inspect.
