> And since in many agents you're also going to want to display actual HTML, unless you're going to embed a browser engine in your C++ library, that's just not doable.
I guess this is the main issue. Either you end up reimplementing a browser (which will def have a ton of issues), or you embed a browser and you end up with bloat anyway
You don't need a full browser or a full HTML implementation. You just need enough HTML support for markdown converted to HTML and wxWidgets has that level of support for HTML backed in. I've never seen an LLM generate HTML without it being explicitly told to do so, so I don't know where this notion comes from that full HTML/CSS/JS support is needed to render LLM text outputs.
