    Hi,
    I want to align text present in QTextEdit.
    I tried some options present in net like " text-align:center" but they didn't work.

    Could you please help me on this...

    Regards,
    Anuj

      Hi
      You can always just right click a TextEdit in Designer and use its Edit HTML editor.
      It allows you to do basic things and get the html.

      <html><head/><body><p align="center"><span style=" font-size:8.25pt;">CENTER</span></p></body></html>

        You can use setAlignment() method. Here's an example:

        QTextEdit te;
        
        te.append("This paragraph is left aligned");
        te.setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft);
        
        te.append("This paragraph is right aligned");
        te.setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
        

        or you can use html:

        QTextEdit te;
        te.setHtml("<p align=\"left\">This paragraph is left aligned"
                   "<p align=\"right\">This paragraph is right aligned");
        

        or CSS:

        QTextEdit te;
        te.setHtml("<p style=\"text-align: left\">This paragraph is left aligned"
                   "<p style=\"text-align: right\">This paragraph is right aligned");
