Actually I'm curious about that too :)

That's a HARD project.
Could ya narrow it in to say what -sections- of html to implement?
I'm tempted to do a javascript plugin (using libjs from Mozilla) so that'd
be possible. But not yet...

Umm. To be honest there's good reasons for that. RichEdit handles that
rather quite well.
and noone's going to stop me from doing a C port, whether I have community
support or not. What matters for -that- project to me is whether or not
anyone likes what I've done with it when I can post it.

True...
But it doesn't hurt to have people with their own agendas too, as long as
the end result supports the community's agenda.
for instance, I'm a little worried that the original developers may have
problems with double licenses (say GNU LGPL and MIT) on ParaGUI so I
submit that as a discussion now.
One side - it would make commercial support easier...
flip side - is it necessary?
LGPL doesn't really restrict bundling that much, except (and I'd have to
verify this) in the case of static distribution.
Not sure her.
G'day, eh? :)
