    Hi,

    Use of QFile:

    • Create QFile variable
    • Call open
    • Check that open was successful
    • Call write
    • Close file

    Done

      @ManiRon Can you please show the code you're using now? And the content of the file you're generating (the text, not pictures)?

          @ManiRon This is not valid HTML.
          And by "code" I mean your C++ code to generate the HTML file...

                    @ManiRon This is how a HTML document should look like:

                      Since you are hard coding stuff anyway, you can use QXmlStreamWriter directly on the QFile device to generate html:

                      QFile qHtmlFile("myFile.html");
                      if(qHtmlFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly){
                      QTextStream startDocStream(&qHtmlFile);
                      startDocStream << QStringLiteral("<!DOCTYPE html>");
                      QXmlStreamWriter htmlWriter(&qHtmlFile);
                      htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("html"));
                      htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("xmlns"),QStringLiteral("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"));
                      htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("lang"),QStringLiteral("en"));
                      htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("xml"),QStringLiteral("lang"),QStringLiteral("en"));
                      htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("head"));
                      htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("meta"));
                      htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("http-equiv"),QStringLiteral("Content-Type"));
                      htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("content"),QStringLiteral("text/html; charset=utf-8"));
                      htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //meta
                      htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("title"));
                      htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("Test Page"));
                      htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //title
                      htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("style"));
                      htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("h1, h2, h3, h4 { color: rgb(83,129,53) } h1 { text-align: center; }"));
                      htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //style
                      htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //head
                      htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("body"));
                      htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("h1"));
                      htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("Test Page"));
                      htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //h1
                      htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("h2"));
                      htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("Lorem"));
                      htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //h2
                      htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("p"));
                      htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit."));
                      htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //p
                      htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //body
                      htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //html
                      }

                        @jsulm I have not defined the html tag but still it was generating the html file correctly but when i removed the QTextbrowser , still it was generating correctly but the internal borders of the table is only the major missing.

                          Since you are hard coding stuff anyway, you can use QXmlStreamWriter directly on the QFile device to generate html:

                          QFile qHtmlFile("myFile.html");
                          if(qHtmlFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly){
                          QTextStream startDocStream(&qHtmlFile);
                          startDocStream << QStringLiteral("<!DOCTYPE html>");
                          QXmlStreamWriter htmlWriter(&qHtmlFile);
                          htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("html"));
                          htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("xmlns"),QStringLiteral("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"));
                          htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("lang"),QStringLiteral("en"));
                          htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("xml"),QStringLiteral("lang"),QStringLiteral("en"));
                          htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("head"));
                          htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("meta"));
                          htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("http-equiv"),QStringLiteral("Content-Type"));
                          htmlWriter.writeAttribute(QStringLiteral("content"),QStringLiteral("text/html; charset=utf-8"));
                          htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //meta
                          htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("title"));
                          htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("Test Page"));
                          htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //title
                          htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("style"));
                          htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("h1, h2, h3, h4 { color: rgb(83,129,53) } h1 { text-align: center; }"));
                          htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //style
                          htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //head
                          htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("body"));
                          htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("h1"));
                          htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("Test Page"));
                          htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //h1
                          htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("h2"));
                          htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("Lorem"));
                          htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //h2
                          htmlWriter.writeStartElement(QStringLiteral("p"));
                          htmlWriter.writeCharacters(QStringLiteral("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit."));
                          htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //p
                          htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //body
                          htmlWriter.writeEndElement(); //html
                          }

                              Did you try to compare the HTML you generated with QTextBrowser and the one you are generating now ?
