I think that having the ability to load an html at the background will ease a lot of things. Probably making translations or helps easier & nicer & cross-platform & on-line.
I`m not saying that Purr-Data should be used for generating or editing html.
I`m thinking of it as a "Canvas" but not just as a color and a font, but with all the flexibility of an html (markup language).
Since you are working with HTML5, I think this type of thing should be natural.
Currently I`m using [ggee/image] as a "rich-canvas", some screen-shots:

Of course these are not done with a "markup language", but are cross-platform.

Cool,
Btw: How far we are from displaying a normal html+css inside a Purr-Data
patch?
What did you have in mind?
Or to make an html+css as background to a patch?
It's possible to do that atm, either by changing one of the css files or through devtools. But I don't have an interface that lets you set this by sending a Pd message within a patch.
Is there an object that loads and display html?
There isn't. You could load an html page and send messages to Pd from it. But again, I don't have an interface built to do anything like that yet.
