I have wondered many times.

Of course I can always use a browser but it’s overkill.

The same goes for yad or zenity, they pull in webkit which is a full-fledged browser engine, and at least yad does not have an offline mode.

I just want to look at some local HTML (incl. images) & CSS styling.

    Believe it or not. kde’s khelpcenter is what I have been using. Not sure if it includes images, but it renders simple html files and according to the Arch package. It is only like 7 MiB. Way better and faster than using a whole browser, but doesn’t really support javascript obviously.

      Thanks! Unfortunately my system is not KDE so it would pull in too much.

      yelp (help for gnome) can render HTML, too.

      I’ve been trying different things; in the end I guess something like yad or zenity is still the best. netsurf is really fast but I don’t know how to style it as a viewer without a toolbar/urlbar.

      I’d love to find a simple frontend to litehtml.
