[SOLVED] strange output for html bold
-
@ message = "the good <b> example";
ui->textEdit->append(message);@the above code outputs to the textEdit...
@the good <b&gT example@when it should output...
@the good <b> example@is there a reason for this odd behavior. am i missing something in the code? if the code was changed to...
@message = "the good <b>";@
then the white spaces would still be removed but the <b> would be replaced with <b&gT. I have tried message.left, message.mid, and in those cases, the white spaces are still removed.
the code does the same for html strong, eg, &lT;strong>, and any other html inside of &lT;and >.
I need to output <b> to the textEdit. if i typed textEdit->append("<b>"); then it would not output. is there a way to type <b> with it still going to the output because &lT;and > just does not seem to work correctly.

Is your textEdit rich text or is it plain text one?

hi Eus. we posted at the same time. I finally discovered my error. I had a textEdit and outputting the results to that textEdit. instead, i should have had a plainTextEdit and outputting the results to it.
