CSS styling richtext in QTextDocument
-
I struggled with styling the html in QTextDocument. In my code I created an XML representation and then used XSLT stylesheet to convert to HTML. I am not completely satisfed with the output as I had issues making it look the way I wanted. I think I will eventually convert the XML to QML code on the fly. There were so many limitations with the HTML/CSS in QTextDocument it was very frustrating.

@fcarney Hello, thanks. Yes, it so limited that the use is only very basic. I am thinking of QML as well. But I never got in touch with that, and it is as learning whole new language. I do not know which way I would have to go. Well new adventure in front of me.
I am also looking at this report designer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qtrpt/
What I like about HTML/CSS, is that everybody knows it, so it can be edited by any body who knows IT basics. I miss just few more styles and I would be happy.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I read it was fixed as of Qt 5.14. But I think I can live with that.
I found that the width works as attribute. At least the relative % variant.

You read it wrong - I said that this fix introduced the regression about not honoring the border-style when using border-collapse.

@Christian-Ehrlicher Maybe, it is somewhere in the text hidden? The summary on top of the page is saying:

At least I found the reason why border-style does no longer work - it was due to https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-36152 which added some new capabilities (border-collapse)
border-style does not work together with border-collapse.

You have to use an external library for this. Qt does not provide this functionality in Qt6.
