lablgtk pango_parse_markup

[Daniel de Rauglaudre]

Hi,

I'd like to have a "label" widget in Lablgtk with a string with
internationalization, bold, italic, utf8, color, things like that.

I am not sure, but I saw in the Web that I must use the function
"pango_parse_markup" and XML tags in my string, but that function
seems not to exist in Lablgtk. Is it normal? Do I have to use other
features?

Thanks.

This is directly supported by the label widget:

let w = GWindow.window ()
let l = GMisc.label ~packing:w#add ()
let () =
  l#set_text "<span foreground=\"red\">Hello</span>";
  l#set_use_markup true;
  w#show ();
  GMain.main ()

This is even shorter as optional argument:

let l = GMisc.label ~packing:w#add ~markup:"<span foreground=\"red\">Hello</span>" ()

It works. Great! Thanks, Jacques!
