However, no functionality seems to exist for a GtkTextView. Is there really no way to just drop a marked up string right into a GtkTextView? gtk_text_buffer_insert_with_tags isn't really the same thing because you have to create all of the tags and pass them one by one into this function. If you have pages worth of text with a lot of formatting in it, then passing in a Pango formatted string is the only way to go. You can do this with a label, but not a text view? Thanks.

However, when you start automating formatting in larger applications, it really does make sense to use the GtkTextTag system.

However, when you start automating formatting in larger applications, it really does make sense to use the GtkTextTag system. Not really. Most systems generate formatted text separate from the GUI code (performance being a big part of it). MS's RichEditCtrl allows you to easily drop preformatted RTF text right into it, so this seems like a major oversight in the GTK API. Why can you do this with a label but not a text view-which one of the two more often has formatted text in it? Oh well...
