Opensource rich text editor whose output QTextBrowser accepts

[hvw59601]

Hi,

I am using QTextBrowser to display a rich text file, .rtf, but I am having trouble finding an editor that will produce a file that QTextBrowser will accept.

E.g. I tried oowriter but QTextBrowser will not display that as RTF but just displays plain text (all the control statements).

I tried the startup file from http://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/ but it will not display that either.

I can put simple rtf code in a file and it does display that, but I want to use an editor and not have to code all the rtf stuff.

From the docs:

If you want to provide your users with an editable rich text editor, use QTextEdit. If you want a text browser without hypertext navigation use QTextEdit, and use QTextEdit::setReadOnly() to disable editing. If you just need to display a small piece of rich text use QLabel.

And how exactly are you adding the text to the QTextBrowser?

Like in line 38:


void ApplicationWindow::Editor_2()
{
char name[32]="AppWin::Editor_2";

QString s,tt,tt1;

if( rtfAct->isChecked() ) {
QString tt = xlist->get_desc(xlist->get_varno("about_rtf_file"));

about_rtf_file.setName(tt);

if ( !about_rtf_file.exists() ) {
midget("%s does not exist %d %s\n",qPrintable(tt),__LINE__,__FILE__);
return;
}

if ( !about_rtf_file.open( QIODevice::ReadOnly ) ) {
midget("Could not open about_rtf_file: %s %d %s\n",qPrintable(tt),__LINE__,__FILE__);
return;
}

setCursor(Qt::waitCursor);

e_2 = new QTextBrowser( this, "editor" );
e_2->setGeometry(get_int("xxe"), get_int("yye"), get_int("wwe"), get_int("hhe"));
midget("debugger x=%d y=%d w=%d h=%d %d %s\n",get_int("xxe"), get_int("yye"), get_int("wwe"), get_int("hhe"),__LINE__,__FILE__);
// e->setDocumentTitle(debug_file);
e_2->setReadOnly(TRUE);
e_2->setAcceptRichText(TRUE);
e_2->setFocus();
e_2->clear();

int kk =0;
QTextStream t_t(&about_rtf_file);
while ( !t_t.atEnd() ) {
QString s = t_t.readLine();
qApp->processEvents();
e_2->append( s );
kk++;
}
midget("Read %d lines of about_rtf_file: %d %s\n",kk,__LINE__,__FILE__);
about_rtf_file.close();
setCursor(Qt::arrowCursor);
e_2->show();
}
else {
about_rtf_file.close();
delete e_2;
xdeb->hide();
ss->repaint();
}

emit(setStat());

try and see what does acceptRichText () return, you could also try and explicitly call setAcceptRichText ( true)
