SVG file in qhelpgenerator / assistant

[ScumCoder]

It's been 2.5 years, and there's still zero reaction to this issue.
I still can't browse qch help containing svg files:

Maybe it's me who is doing something wrong here? No way me and OP are the only two people who care about this.

The bug report is wrong. It's not a QtCreator issue but QTexEdit (?) which does not support it. So the correct persons are not aware of the problem.

I finally managed to get proper help back again, so I'm sharing the solution juuuust in case some other lost soul comes here in search of an answer.

1. Clone the QtCreator source code.
2. Checkout version v7.0.2 (this is the last version that supports Qt5).
3. Build it against Qt5.
4. Select "QtWebEngine" as the help renderer.

Not only did rolling back to v7.0.2 + Qt5 give me proper help, but it also fixed a whole plethora of other annoying bugs.
And even if there was any actual functionality added since that version, I didn't notice it, so I didn't even lose anything.

@ScumCoder - thanks for posting this solution. Is there way I can select QtWebEngine from pre-build assistant.exe which I installed using pip install pyside6 in my conda environment?
