this was a good one. it works ! and the window size is ok now. and I can insert buttons…
I don’t know if you can and want to open source this, so that I can add some menus to insert html tags, it would be awesome…
Everything appears to be working now on 10.12. Thanks for this.

Sorry, I can’t open source it as I use gate61’s gHTML Editor (https://www.gate61.com/ghtml_desktop.html). It does most of the work linking ckEditor with XOJO. The downfall is it’s only compatible with ckEditor version 4 (which has End of Life scheduled for 2023) and looks like Gate61 will not be supporting ckEditor version 5. I played around with linking ckEditor v5 with XOJO, but am not as far along as I was with gHTML Editor. This would be a fun project to work on more though sometime in the near future.

@Pete_Totushek I flag you as the solution to this thread, as you are the closest !
but if anybody comes to something closer to webdesign I’m still open to answers.
for me, I know it’s possible, and will certainly try to make myself some xojo app integrating an open source javascript html editor embedded in an htmlviewer.
it will be the opportunity to test and use the new desktophtmlviewer !
I have been reluctant to suggest this, because it is probably a little heavier than what you are looking for, but a tool that I really like using for creating HTML snippets is Bootstrap Studio. I have used many of the tools already mentioned here, and have settled on this tool because it works in Windows, Mac and Linux. I had purchased the lifetime license years ago and still continue receive updates so it really has been a low one time cost.
The HTML it produces is clean and neat, and you can use it with external editors like Visual Studio Code.

For lightweight HTML editing on Mac with a preview I use Whisk from Tumult.

That looks very useful. I would like to have the windows build. Thank you.
I use Nova on the Mac.
Hi Frank. I couldn’t find my original Windows build, so I just rebuilt it now for Windows. Here is the link… https://totusoft.com/files/html_editor/HTML_Editor_x64.zip. Just unzip and run HTML_Editor.exe. Again, I didn’t code sign it so you will need to bypass Windows SmartScreen by clicking on ‘More Info’, then ‘Run Anyway’.

Edited: Fixed the link
Thank you for taking the time to do this for me.
I recommend it, modern sites with little code if necessary, plus all bootstrap, right there you can put a Frame object and embed a Xojo app, it would even be good for Xojo to see how Bootstrap Studio takes advantage of some features.
