Hi, I need a cross platform, windows, linux, macos, html viewer than
can display:

A title like h1..h3, a paragraph, and bullets like an unordered list.
Optionally images.

Nothing more than that. What component do you recommend?

Seems that there's only one in the OPM but the github project doesn't
say nothing about macos.

If you don't mind text limited to ASCII, test this one. Not sure what
happened with the author and his website, probably you can get a copy
from web archive.

If you're not expecting full CSS3 compliance, the TIPHtml component in
the TurboPower IPro package will probably do the job.

Hey lainz,

Please ignore all the Markdown stuff and the fact that this post could
be construed as a plug to my thing, which is not my intention at all.

I've been using the THTMLFrameViewer on this test of many Markdown
libs for quite a while and it's not that bad:
https://github.com/gcarreno/TestMarkdown

Cannot guarantee/talk about any results under Mac. I don't own one and
I'm not using the GitHub actions to test the code under a macos-latest
machine, so you'll have to test it on your own.

Again, in my code you have a very simple example on how to use the
HTML Viewer, disregard the rest of the noise please.

Cheers,
Gus

I can recommend this:

Development is still active and I've no issue with it even if my usage
is basic, just showing mail bodies on win and linux machines.

THTMLFrameViewer seems good enough.
