Title: The Broadway windowing system
Slug: broadway
## Using GTK with Broadway
The GDK Broadway backend provides support for displaying GTK applications in
a web browser, using HTML5 and web sockets.
To run your application in this way, first run the broadway server,
`gtk-broadwayd`, that ships with GTK:
```
gtk4-broadwayd :5
```
The server expects the colon-prefixed display number as a commandline argument.
Then point your web browser at `http://127.0.0.1:8085`.
Once the Broadway server is running, you can start your applications like
this:
```
GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:5 gtk4-demo
```
Multiple applications can be presented in the same web browser window.
## Broadway-specific environment variables
### `BROADWAY_DISPLAY`
Specifies the Broadway display number. The default display is 0.
The display number determines the port to use when connecting to a Broadway
application via the following formula:
```
port = 8080 + display
```
