QXmlStreamReader not reading text within tags

[Ceaser88]

I am trying to read the text in between xml tags using a simple QXmlStreamReader

i have filled a QXmlStreamReader called sectionReader with xml from this link:http://www.waseet.net/apps/iphone/xm...ories-file.xml

this code shows all start elements normally:
void MainWindow:arseXml2()
{
while (!sectionReader.atEnd())
{
sectionReader.readNext();
if(sectionReader.isStartElement())
{
ui->textEdit->append(sectionReader.name().toString());
}
}
}

whereas this code gives whitespaces:
void MainWindow:arseXml2()
{
while (!sectionReader.atEnd())
{
sectionReader.readNext();
if(sectionReader.isStartElement())
{
ui->textEdit->append(sectionReader.readElementText());
}
}
}

can anyone indicate what is going wrong? why aren't i reading any text in between the start and end tags?
I can verify that the xml has text in between the tags. here is the link if anyone wants to check: http://www.waseet.net/apps/iphone/xm...ories-file.xml

i have attached my .h and .cpp files along with the post
