QListView and Delegate Vs a list made in HTML

I'm studying an easy and fast way to create a pretty ListView where the item is something similar to the "Your Newest Album" of Amarok: a cover and some text on the left.

This is the code I found in the Amarok source code (v1.3)

Code:

void
ContextBrowser::ContructHTMLAlbums(const QStringList & reqResult, QString & htmlCode, QString stID, T_SHOW_ALBUM_TYPE showAlbumType)
{
    // This function create the html code used to display a list of albums. Each album
    // is a 'toggleable' block.

It does some query in the rest of code and it adds the item with lines of code like this.

Code:

// Compilation image
                htmlCode.append( QStringx (
                                            "<td width='1'>"
                                                "<a href='fetchcover: @@@ %1'>"
                                                    "<img class='album-image' align='left' vspace='2' hspace='2' title='%2' src='%3'/>"
                                                "</a>"
                                            "</td>"
                                            "<td valign='middle' align='left'>"
                                                "<a href='compilation:%4'><span class='album-title'>%5</span></a>" )
                                 .args( QStringList()
                                        << escapeHTMLAttr( reqResult[ i ].isEmpty() ? i18n( "Unknown" ) : reqResult[ i ] ) // album.name
                                        << i18n( "Click for information from amazon.com, right-click for menu." )
                                        << escapeHTMLAttr( albumImage )
                                        << reqResult[ i + 1 ] //album.id
                                        << albumName ) );

Why do they create a List in this way?
Can I make my ListView with delegating methods?
Is it possible to put a label and image in an item View entry (and layout)?
Can someone show me a code that shows how to make a pretty ListView?

Thanks
