Confusion about the documentation
-
I don't see the document there called Rich Text Processing (which has a lot of 'next' buttons and apparently is a very long 'tutorial' kind of thing), at least not when I search with cmd+f on 'rich'.
@DevinQT said in Confusion about the documentation:
cmd+f
this is searching in your browser on the currently loaded webpage. If you open the link provided by @mrjj you will see search field there. type "rich text" there and you will find what you're looking for.

Yeah I imagined that would be the case since that is a Google search of the whole documentation. But allright I think it just sort of floats in space in the documentation, not being part of some kind of series or something then? Only accessible via Google search?

I know what you mean :) It seems, that there are no ways to enter this (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext.html) page, except Googling that page.
But everything that can be found on the Rich Text Page, is accessible by itself (e.g.QFont).
If you ignore the detailed text, it´s just a collection of links leading to Rich-Text-Formatting classes :)
If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

Since you happen to ask, actually there is. Go to https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html. Links showing as text
Supported Tags
The following table lists the HTML tags supported by Qt's rich text engine:

each point to your page :)
But don't ask me where that page gets referenced...

@DevinQT @Pl45m4 I personally find it much faster to search for what I want instead of navigating through links.
This browser plugin makes it even easier: https://forum.qt.io/topic/35616/web-browser-extension-for-improved-doc-searches

Just installed under Linux FF. No more Google searches frequently taking me to Qt 4.x!! Thanks :)I just wish the search inside https://doc.qt.io wasn't so irritating: the first hits are all/often advertising pages, I suppose that's Google Search for you?

Does it serve ads? https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/search-results.html?q=qobject only gives me relevant doc pages. (and I think I've disabled all my ad blockers...)
Not that it bothers me much, since I don't use it :-D

Thanks everyone!
I like the extension too. Will Qt make one for Safari in the future?@DevinQT said in Confusion about the documentation:

I'm glad you like it :)

I don't use Safari so I didn't make a Safari version.
But the source code is in the public domain; feel free to port it to Safari if you want: https://github.com/JKSH/qt-doc-search/
