Description André Klapper 2008-09-12 15:10:58 UTC 
Evolution will most likely switch to WebKit for GNOME 2.26, see bug 540362.
GtkHtml will soon become deprecated and unmaintained (wait... where's the difference to now? :-P ).
Hence I request to port GnuCash to WebKit, too.

So, I had a go at porting GnuCash.

One missing feature: There's no equivalent to GtkHTMLEmbedded* in WebKit at the moment. Seems to be used to embed charts in documents.

Err... any patches so that we can see how the code looks like?
Comment 4 Phil Longstaff 2009-04-25 21:38:32 UTC 
Port to webkit is now in trunk and is targetted for 2.4.  Works on linux and mac, but doesn't build on win32.  I'll resolve this one and submit another one for the win32 build issue.
