    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?

    @DevinQT Yes, it is problematic that if you go to Qt GUI part of the documentation you will not have anything related to rich text even if it is part of Qt GUI.

        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 :)

          Since you happen to ask, actually there is. Go to https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html. Links showing as text

          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?

                    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/

                      Okay. 🙂

                      Other question for the ones with iPhones: How can I handy read the documentation on my iPhone? I can't increase the text size. It isn't a mobile site.

                      Can I maybe download it maybe somewhere and view it in any other way?
