html widget?

• Steve Dekorte html widget? Jun 26 2002, 00:35
  I don't see anything on displaying html in NSText.
  What's the best way to display html within an app?
  
  Cheers,
  Steve

  NSAttributedString has several initWithHTML methods.  So you
  could fill in an NSTextView with HTML like this:
  
  - (void) populateHTML:(NSString *)inHTML
  {
  NSData *theData = [inHTML
  dataUsingEncoding:NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding];
  NSAttributedString *text;
  text = [[[NSAttributedString alloc]
      initWithHTML:theData documentAttributes:nil] autorelease];
  [[oNewsText textStorage] setAttributedString:text];
  }
  
  (Using this in conjunction with CURLHandle by any chance, Steve?)  :-)

  Something like this should work.  This was typed in Mail so the standard
  disclaimer applies.
  
  NSString *path;
  NSData *htmlData;
  NSURL *baseURL;
  
  path = @"SomePath";
  htmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile: path];
  baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: path];
  
  htmlAttributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithHTML:htmlData
  baseURL:baseURL documentAttributes:NULL];
  [[textView textStorage] setAttributedString:htmlAttributedString];
  
  Hope this helps.

  I think there's a -initWithHTML method on NSAttributedString, or
  something similar.

  Great - thanks to everyone that replied!

  Hey Dan,
  
  I'm using libcurl but with custom code that uses the multi interface
  instead of threads since multithreaded apps appear to unstable on OSX.
  Btw, looks like the new (finally stable) version of OmniWeb may have
  gone the select() route as well.
  
  Cheers,
  Steve

  Nope. Still pretty massively multithreaded.

  Interesting. I thought I noticed that downloads paused(not just in the
  UI) while I was moving the scroll bar, but I guess not.
