Bug Description
Zenity was updated a few days ago. Until then there was a bug with --checkbox, which is fixed now :-) But another bug was introduced: zenity's option to render html does not work. A similar bug was squashed in OpenSuse last year, and is still there in Fedora and Centos. But --html works in all versions of the Ubuntu flavours from 12.04 LTS 'Precise' to 15,04 'Vivid', and worked in 'Wily' until this last update of/to zenity 3.16.3.
The error output states:
"This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible usages."
The bug that was squashed last year was fixed in OpenSuse by compiling with WebKit. Maybe that works also now, maybe another tool is necessary now to add capability for html with the option --html.
Arx Cruz knows which tool to use:
"The --html is only available when you compile with webkit > 2.8.1 and the library is webkit2gtk. See https:/
If the new zenity wasn't built with support to this, you won't see the --html option."
You can run the following bash shell-script to test if it works or not.
-----
#!/bin/bash
echo "<h1>HTML headline</h1>
Hello World" | zenity --text-info --html --filename=
--width=
--title "$btitle" \
--ok-label="Go" --cancel-
--checkbox="Check this box if you are ready to go"
