@jackie_w: You should be able to use qwebengine in your plugin by running it in a separate process using calibre-debug so your previewer becomes a simple standalone program inside your plugin. Something like

Code:

from calibre.debug import run_calibre-debug
run_calibre_debug(['-c', 'from calibre_plugins.your_plugin.viewer import main; import sys; main(sys.argv[-2], sys.argv[-1]);', 'path to first html file', 'path to second html file'])

And then implement your viewer using qwebengine.
