Couldn't you use the lua io routines to write an html file to a temp location, and then set the BROWSER.URL variable to the location of the temp file?

I don't like using temporary files.....
I don't think that's a very nice solution

Long term, no. But for now, why not?
On windows, you could possibly write to one file (rather than a temp file) and call the refresh action.

Hi Marcel,
I'm with Ben on this one. It seems simple enough (famous last words ...) and gets you away from the problems you're having with RTF.

well... transparency and scroll buttons now work (WIN32)
I haven't figured out the scroll thumb yet...

ok.. scroll thumb now works as well.... (all this win32 only, see earlier picture in this thread for ppc capabilities)
There is one problem : see picture : the top line is cut off sometimes...
The rich text control doesn't seem to 'fix' the y position so that the first line is always displayed in it's entirety....
I guess, I'll have to live with that

Isn't it possible to instruct the driver to always start with a line feed? (Yes, I'm probably just stupid, but it sounded like a good idea at the time I wrote it.)

the problem only happens when the scroll thumb is not at the top...
the rich text control is in charge of displaying a part of the document depending on where the scroll thumb is..
I can only say -> show me the rtf text starting at the 100th pixel which could be in the middle of a line.
note 'RICH' TEXT which means that each line can have a different font/font size, unlike a multiline text box. so I don't have a fixed line height...
you can even insert graphics and draw lines...

hmmm..
I was making a fuss about cutting off the top line when scrolling,
but I just noticed that my Outlook 2003 preview pane and Word 2003 print layout screen behave exactly the same....
press the arrow up/arrow down on the vertical scroll bar or move the scroll thumb and Bill Gates doesn't care if the top line is not shown in its entirety...
so it is working as it is supposed to, then
