Public bug reported:

Zenity was updated a few days ago. Until then there was a bug with
--checkbox, which is fixed now :-) But another bug was introduced:
zenity's option to render html does not work. A similar bug was squashed
in OpenSuse last year, and is still there in Fedora and Centos. But
--html works in all versions of the Ubuntu flavours from 12.04 LTS
'Precise' to 15,04 'Vivid', and worked in 'Wily' until this last update
of/to zenity 3.16.3.

The error output states:

"This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible
usages."

The bug that was fixed last year was fixed in OpenSuse by compiling with
WebKit. Maybe that works also now, maybe another tool is necessary now
to add capability for html with the option --html.

Arx Cruz knows which tool to use (if no longer WebKit).

You can run the following bash shell-script to test if it works or not.
-----
#!/bin/bash

echo "<h1>HTML headline</h1>
Hello World" | zenity --text-info --html --filename=/dev/stdin \
--width=$(($wadd+640)) --height=$(($hadd+400)) \
--title "$btitle" \
--ok-label="Go" --cancel-label="Quit" \
--checkbox="Check this box if you are ready to go"
-----
It should create a window similar to that in the attached file 'correct-rendering-html-precise.png'
