How to add a new line at a particular position in QLabel

[Dcqt]

Hi,

I am using single QLabel to represent two different informations.
to generate some space between two infos i am adding some space , but it does not work in all scenarios.

Can i make QLabel to store the second info in a new line with some sufficient gap between first and second infomations?

@
QString ename = (const char *)eventData.event_list[row].event_name;
QString edesc = (const char *)eventData.event_list[row].short_description;
ename.append(" ");
ename.append(edesc);
evnt_name_label->setText( ename );
@

please reply.....

QLabel will wrap text on new line characters if wordWrap is on.
@
label->setText("Line 1\nLine 2\n\nLine 4");

Hi,
Have you tried using <br/> tags inside your strings?

[Chris Kawa]

QLabel accepts a "limited subset":https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html of html formatting. You can wrap the parts you need in <font> tags.

please give me some examples , i am not a frequent user of Qt, and i dont understand these syntaxes properly..

@
label->setText("<small>I'm small</small><br>"
"I'm average :(<br>"
"<big>I'm big!</big><br>"
"<font size=15>I'm 15!</font>");

I m sorry to ask you again.. but i want to have these setting on text that is decided during runtime.
i tried

@
QString big("I'm Big");
QString small("I'm small");

label->setText("<font size=15>big</font><br>"
"<font size=10>small</font>");
@

i am getting the big and small as out put instead of I'm Big and
I'm small.

how to do it..

That's not a Qt thing, that's c++ thing. What you did was like
@int i = 42;
std::string("foo i bar"); //this won't be "foo 42 bar"@

Just concatenate strings
@
QString big("I'm Big");
QString small("I'm small");
label->setText(QString("<font size=15>") + big +
"</font><br><font size=10>" + small + "</font>");
@
or more readable with arg() method of QString:
@
QString big("I'm Big");
QString small("I'm small");
QString text("<font size=15>%1</font><br><font size=10>%2</font>");
label->setText(text.arg(big, small));
