This is possible in the 2.4 branch of gtk#, and when gtk-sharp 2.0 is
released (preview releases begin in late october, or early november).
The support currently is very beta, but the only large missing hole at
the moment is context menus, which I will be fixing soonish. :)

Yup, this works great already. However, I don't think you need a custom
widget, I believe you might be able to write a CellRenderer that does
this.

There are two ways to do this.

#1) gtkhtml-sharp
#2) gecko-sharp

They both work, but you will most likely find that one meets your
applications needs more than the other. It is up to you.
