Seems to work well enough, although I share the sentiment in the SO post that this seems a bit hacky for such an important functionality.
There are many "solutions" provided in the post, I ended up using this answer, which worked for PySide6 after adapting some imports.
Thank you both for your time :)
Adapted solution (in case linked post gets lost)
from PySide6.QtCore import QRectF, QSize
from PySide6.QtGui import QTextDocument, QAbstractTextDocumentLayout
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QStyledItemDelegate, QStyleOptionViewItem, QStyle
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/66091713
class HTMLDelegate(QStyledItemDelegate):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
# probably better not to create new QTextDocuments every ms
self.doc = QTextDocument()
def paint(self, painter, option, index):
options = QStyleOptionViewItem(option)
self.initStyleOption(options, index)
painter.save()
self.doc.setTextWidth(options.rect.width())
self.doc.setHtml(options.text)
self.doc.setDefaultFont(options.font)
options.text = ''
options.widget.style().drawControl(QStyle.ControlElement.CE_ItemViewItem, options, painter)
painter.translate(options.rect.left(), options.rect.top())
clip = QRectF(0, 0, options.rect.width(), options.rect.height())
painter.setClipRect(clip)
ctx = QAbstractTextDocumentLayout.PaintContext()
ctx.clip = clip
self.doc.documentLayout().draw(painter, ctx)
painter.restore()
def sizeHint(self, option, index):
options = QStyleOptionViewItem(option)
self.initStyleOption(option, index)
self.doc.setHtml(option.text)
self.doc.setTextWidth(option.rect.width())
return QSize(self.doc.idealWidth(), self.doc.size().height())
