Hi. Came across strange issue. I have html page, created .qhp, .qch, .qhcp and .qhc files as usuall, but Assistant haven't displayed that page when I cliced on corresponding leaf in tree structure of assistant. After further testing where the problem could be, I figured out, that the problem is in length of html page. This test page:



<html>
<h1>Test</h1>
Test
</html>


will not get displayed. Neither this one:



<html>
<h1>Test</h1>
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
</html>


But after adding another character behind last "Test" the page is suddently displayed correctly. Anybody have some idea why is that? Is that a bug? I want to create really short help page telling what happens when user click Exit in my app.

What happens if you wrap the content in <body> tags?

The same thing. Only shortens page content which causes the error a bit



<html>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTe stTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTestTest
TestTestTestTestTestT
</body>
</html>


not being displayed, +1 character displayed correctly

So? Anyone some advice? Or there's nothing to be done?

Still anyone? :( Besides of this strange behavior, I found very hard to make assistant do what I want to do.

Are you using the webkit backend for assistant or the text browser backend?

Neither one? Im using set of html pages on hard-drive loaded via <files></files> element in help.qhp file. Doing nothing programatically with anything so far, just calling assistant from terminal

Neither one?
You have to be using one of the two :) My question is about how your assistantclient library was compiled. See if it depends on webkit or not.

Yes, depends on libQtWebKit

Does it work if you display the same content on QWebView?

Created:


QWebView view;
QFile file("test.htm");
file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text);
QString string = file.readAll();
file.close();
view.setHtml(string);
view.show();


with test.htm looking:



<html>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
T
</body>
</html>


Everything looks fine, QWebView displayed page correctly
