    Hi,

    I think you are mixing two very different things here:

    • Qt Style Sheet for customizing widgets
    • QTextDocument Rich Text support shown through QTextEdit.

    What you want to do is handled by the later. See the Rich Text chapter in Qt's documentation.

    @SGaist Hello,
    So, I got the border collapse working by doing this:

    TextEdit *edit{getTabTextEdit()};
        QTextTableFormat format;
        format.setBorderCollapse(true);
        edit->textCursor().insertTable(lineNum, columnNum, format);
    

    But I don't know how to set the table's width to change when the textedit's width changes and I don't know how to put its width to 100% as CSS does.

      If memory serves well, something like:

      format.setWidth(QTextLength(QTextLength::PercentageLength, 100));

        @SGaist Yes! This was right!
        Thank you so much, but I have one last question, sorry about that.
        When I create the table it's like this:
        2ee25edf-65b3-4cb4-b708-c72fc795898b-image.png
        but then when I type something in a cell the line separing the different cells adapts to the text. How do I avoid that?

        I just wanted to expand the table to the TextEdit's width not also this feature.

          So you want the column to all take the same percentage of space ?

              @SGaist Yes, but in the way that they are distribuited, for example if I have 3 columns each one will be 33% but I don't want that they adapt with the text.

                Then QTextTableFormat::setColumnWidthConstraints looks like what you want.

                  @SGaist And how do I do that? I tried to search online but I didn't find any solution that may help me, because they are reguarding QTableView.
                  I also checked the documentation but it doesn't explain much and I still don't know how to use it.
                  Thanks in advance.

                    QTextLength oneThird = QTextLength(QTextLength::PercentageLength, 33);
                    QVector<QTextLength> constraints(3, oneThird);
                    format.setColumnWidthConstraints(constraints);
