[MonoDevelop] RichTextBox for GTK#

[Daniel Hughes]

It is possible to use a GTK TextView to display text with links and
different fonts and colors and sizes. To do so you need to add TextTags to
your buffer http://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm/stable/classGtk_1_1TextTag.html


Tomboy notes and Wide Margin do this so you could how they have done it if
you need examples.

Cheers,
Daniel Hughes
