[Haskell-cafe] How to do this in Haskell

[Chris Smith]

If you wanted to write a Haskell application that included a WYSIWYG 
HTML editor, how would you do it?

More details:

- I'll probably be using Gtk2Hs for the app, though that could change 
with a (very) good reason.

- The top priorities for the editor are that it resemble common word 
processors in editing functions, and that the display looks as near as 
possible to what can be expected from some major browser such as FireFox 
or IE.  If it's not possible to do extremely well in both of these 
criteria, then I may as well abandon the project now.

- I'd like for the result to be cross-platform, but Windows-only would 
be just as good from my boss's perspective.

So, with all that in mind, I'm looking for options.  What looks most 
realistic that I've found to date is building an XP-COM implementation 
for Haskell via the FFI and either a code generation tool or Template 
Haskell, and then using that to try to embed the Mozilla editor 
component.  Given my serious lack of knowledge in XP-COM or the Mozilla 
project or GTK, that looks sort of scary.

Any other ideas?
