Cross platform RTF/HTML edit control

I have a product that makes major use of an RTF control which I would like to rewrite in PureBasic. One of my major reasons for doing the rewrite would be cross platform; I want to target Mac OS as well as Linux and Windows.

I know it's possible to use the Windows RTF control through APIs, and that will work on the Windows side but then I have to find a similar solution on Mac and Linux. For the moment I'm more worried about Mac although I have almost no knowledge of development on either the Mac or Linux platforms.

It'd be even better though if someone knows of a way to do this so it just works on all platforms, though I see that as highly unlikely.

I´m intresting in that too!

I already installed Scintilla for Linux and made some tests but
maybe someone can give me an example for an editor that will work with
the scintillagadget on linux and windows?!

Thanks!

Have there ever been some results on this? I need exactly the same...

I need:
- Wordwrap while typing
- bold, italics and underline
- text-color
- font-style, size (not so important)
- unicode-support

The control has to be cross-platform and NO external DLL oder API calls needed. RTF or HTML to save or load.

Any information?
