Use the --text-info option to create a text information dialog.

The text information dialog supports the following options:

Allows the displayed text to be edited. The edited text is returned to standard output when the dialog is closed.

<cmd>--font</cmd>=<var>FONT</var>

Specifies the text font.

<cmd>--checkbox</cmd>=<var>TEXT</var>

Enable a checkbox for use like a 'I read and accept the terms.'

<cmd>--html</cmd>

Enable html support.

<cmd>--url</cmd>=<var>URL</var>

Sets an url instead of a file. Only works if you use --html option.
