Note that gtkhtml2 is suffering from a lack of maintenance at the moment. The only major project that is currently using it is Mikael Hallendal's Yelp (help browser for GNOME 2). However, Mikael has just recently posted some mail to gnome-doc-list and desktop-devel saying that he is thinking of not using it. GtkHtml(1) is currently being ported to GNOME 2. The main differences are that GtkHtml has editing, but is not accessible and does not support CSS or DOMs, while GtkHtml2 is not editable but is accessible with CSS and DOM support. It's unclear whether anybody will come out of the woodwork and say they will maintain GtkHtml2, so you might want to wait a week or so before making a decision in this regard. Cheers, Malcolm --
