Trying to be "clever" with a URL in Linux

[Mark Waddingham]

Not entirely true - revBrowser is coming to Linux in 8... (CEF is a bit of a hoary beast, however, we still haven't got a 32-bit build working as the CEF project has stopped producing builds for it, and indeed 32-bit CEF - like Chrome I believe - is likely to be desupported at some point in the nearish future).

In the meantime simple web pages will sort of work by setting the htmlText property of a field to the data returned from the url.

(htmlText is a bit of a misnomer in this day and age, it was html with some additions many years ago, but html is now much larger and bigger than it once was - indeed you really need a web browser to display general pages)
