Ken,
For basic formatting, check out formatter.py. This is device
independent; see Grail for a way to use HTML and a Tk text widget for
display. To avoid code bloat and feeping creaturism, you might be
able to produce a stripped-down version of Grail's Viewer.py and
sgml_lex/HTMLParser.py.
If you find this a useful approach, we'd like to hear about it and
what you had to do to separate these modules from Grail. Perhaps
simpler versions could be made available which would be more widely
useful.
