xhtml/css text formatting

[kernel_panic]

hi!
i think you all know kopete. they do the formatting of the chat messages through xhtml/css.
i looked at the code, but it didn't help me really much...
i want to do the same. formatting messages with xhtml/css, but i don't know how i can do it with qt4. i don't watn to use platform dependent code like kliabrirys or sth like that.
does anybody know how to do it in qt4? please add code examples, because i need to undestand this and need to know how to implement it in my project.
thx

I think the default rich text engine can handle a subset of css out of the box (I don't think it provides external stylesheets though). And using WebKit is always an option.

where can i find the webkit for qt4? could you give me some example code? i have really no idea where to start.

ok, after reading some css and html tutorials i checked how css and the styling works......
now i made a minimal test for formatting messages through html/css.
for interests i attached it.

i noticed that qtextedit doesnt support background-image. but i need this...
now is there any qt-text-control-object which fully supports css?
btw i didn't find out what i should do with the qtwebkit...........................

WebKit is an html rendering engine. Safari is based on it and it originated from KDE and was called KHTML (the rendering engine of Konqueror). You may use it as a widget, for example.

when i loadet it from svn, i saw thats over 100mb big..... i havent much downstream and my application is just a little chat, i dont wanna have so big depencies.....

When you compile it, it's probably much much smaller.

Qt WebKit is unstable/experimental. If you have trouble compiling it, please try a different revision or contact the maintainer of the project.
