Opensource rich text editor whose output QTextBrowser accepts

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.

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:

Code:

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)
