ok - couldn't wait until tomorrow. i found out why it can't be used:
pango markup doesn't support the full syntax of HTML that applications
would expect to use. < div > and < code > - basic HTML tags - aren't
supported.
also, some apps use the (awful) < a href= "javascript:return false;"
> click here < /a> trick to create a hyperlink, purely to get the
cursor to change to "link". then they capture "click" signals on the
Label (yes i found out about the trick of creating an Event box around
Labels :).
python-gtkhtml2 was adequate to support this kind of trick, as is
pywebkitgtk. Label.set_use_markup would, unfortunately, not do the
trick.
worth exploring, though - thanks sven.
