Yes, there is none. The author of wxHtml (Vaclav Slavik) has designed it as 
a viewer primarily, whereas cursor/selection more less would requires a 
sophistication of an editor (eventhough intuitively it seams simple to add).
But the _early_ news is, that for the past few weeks (at my very limited spare time) 
I've been implementing wxHtmlEditor component based on wxHtml.
An important  part of this effort are the improvements made to original wxHtml 
sources to support cursor movement and selections (with cut/paste) for the read-only 
content. As for progress, among other things, a basic cursor movement and text selection 
(without cut/paste) are implemented. 

So I'm letting you interested people know that possibly, the feature you are expecting 
might land into wxWin-cvs within a month or so.

Aleks.
