tkhtmlview

HTML widgets for tkinter

Fork of tk_html_widgets

Overview

This module is a collection of tkinter widgets whose text can be set in HTML format. A HTML widget isn't a web browser frame, it's only a simple and lightweight HTML parser that formats the tags used by the tkinter Text base class. The widgets behaviour is similar to the PyQt5 text widgets (see the PyQt5 HTML markup subset).

Installation

pip install tkhtmlview

Requirements

• Python 3.4 or later with tcl/tk support
• Pillow 5.3.0
• requests

Example

import tkinter as tk
from tkhtmlview import HTMLLabel

root = tk.Tk()
html_label = HTMLLabel(root, html='<h1 style="color: red; text-align: center"> Hello World </H1>')
html_label.pack(fill="both", expand=True)
html_label.fit_height()
root.mainloop()
