Suggestion: View-pane

Hi,

I am not sure if it is possible or practical but I think a view pane 
that can display data from any source ie text or HTML format would make 
a good idea for a widget.

The source file, whether it is a text file or web page, is read into a 
stream. If there is any formatting in the source ie bold, tab etc. It is 
added to the stream as a command that is understood by the widget

The view pane reads the stream and displays it whether it is a 
formatting command or text character.

I think the benefit of this would be that rather than half a dozen 
different widgets that displays different kind of data, there is only 
one which is easy to maintain.

If anybody has any other ideas about expanding this or reasons why this 
would not be practice, I would be grateful for the posts.

Thanks

Alza.
