Does anyone have any code or know of a method of displaying html within a Blitz program?

If you mean interpreting HTML and displaying the result, then that's not an easy task.

Well, there is some way standard Windows way to use a part of Internet Explorer for it, dunno how. If you only need a limited number of commands (eg. link, image and text style) it should be a relatively small task to make it yourself.

Surely if you read the file into blitz and code an intepreter for the commands. It will take a while tho :) And it probably only work for html

I think Yappy made a start on displaying basic HTML in the first version of XLnt.

No, I checked XLnt - no references to html display.

Yeah, it was never added, and might still be unfinished, but he did have the basics going: text and images.
