Parameters:

wtml_pathstr

The path to a local WTML file

browseroptional str or None

The type of web browser to use to open the WTML preview application, as understood by the webbrowser module. If unspecified, webbrowser will guess a sensible default.

Which kind or application to use to view the WTML file. Allowed values are "webclient" (the default) for the classic WWT webclient, or "research" for the WWT research application.

app_urloptional str or None

Returns:

None
