in mac, you need to do it in cocoa. with the ObjectiveCBridge2 you can do: ws := (ObjectiveCBridge classObjectForName: #NSWorkspace) sharedWorkspace. url := (ObjectiveCBridge classObjectForName: #NSWorkspace) URLWithString: 'http://www.pharo.org' asNSStringUTF8. ws openURL: url. this work with the ObjectiveCBridge2, http://www.squeaksource.com/ObjectiveCBridge2/ and more or less in same way with the Alien-OSX Bridge: http://www.squeaksource.com/Alien/ (curiously, you need the "ConfigurationOfOldAlien" to make it work. it will be a NB out-of-the-box version, but since to communicate with ObjC you need a bridge (not just the ffi stuff), we (Igor and me) still did not find time to work on it...

But the "Browse button" invokes a NBWin32Shell class, which doesn't works too well on my Mac.

Yes I know.

Thats why I asked http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2013-February/074553.ht... for more browser support in NativeBoost on other platforms. The only answer I got was using OSProcess but I want to have a NativeBoost solution for non-windows platforms too (since NB is already preinstalled)

I am particularly interested in the Markdown conversion, but I can't find it immediately. Where does the conversion from .md to .html happen in the code ?

Its not solved within Smalltalk - it is done directly in the browser using javscript. It uses https://code.google.com/p/pagedown/

The scripts can be found on OHFileRequestHandler. Anything I do is to write a div to the client html and invoke the script.
