how to create a sample HTML file using QFIle

ManiRon

@jsulm this code works fine when i use QTextbrowser, But i dont want to use QTextBrowser as it cannot be used inside a QThread

jsulm

@ManiRon You're not generating valid HTML

ManiRon

@jsulm so what change i should make

jsulm

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

<html>
  <head>
   HEADER IF NEEDED 
  </head>
  <body>
    YOUR CONTENT HERE
  </body>
</html>

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.

ManiRon

@VRonin this might make it a little tough i think so sir?

ManiRon

@VRonin @jsulm any other better way if possible with the same way in which i have done

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

ManiRon

@SGaist it worked when i added "table.tbl td {border: 2px solid black;}, table.tbl th {border: 2px solid black;}" these two line .
