[SOLVED] RTF/HTML replacement

[mbnoimi]

Hi All,

I used RTF component in Delphi before but I didn't find like it in Lazarus, so I'm wondering:

Is there any rtf OR html component replacement in Lazarus?

[Dibo]

Yes, there are few:
- http://wiki.freepascal.org/RichMemo (but have some bugs on linux GTK which waiting for fix - see lazarus CCR bugtracker)
- http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/THtmlPort (I think this is the best choice but have no support for 64 bit OS yet)
- TipHTMLPanel from IPro (see lazarus/examples/HtmlHelp)
- if you want only fancy text formatting, you can use SynEdit (see examples too)

They are some others components for RTF (TRTFView or something like that) but they are old and I have errors when try to install it.

Thanks a lot, I'm using 'THtmlPort' now.

Any way, I'm wondering why lazarus project doesn't include these components in its default distro?
I suppose this kind of components are important because they used in common cases.

As the pointer says, it doesn't yet have 64-bit support. All components shipped with default Lazarus installation have support for all supported platforms. And even if they do, as an example lnet and zeos aren't shipped by default.
