1. Is it possible to ask the text edit control to use a slightly tighter line spacing?

2. Is there any simple way to append text without adding a new line?

Thanks, David

Many examples from Google qtextedit set line spacing, such as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10250533/set-line-spacing-in-qtextedit ?

Is there any simple way to append text without adding a new line?

Since QTextEdit::append() "Appends a new paragraph" I would guess you need to use a QTextCursor to do something like insert text at the end of the existing last paragraph?

@JonB Thanks for the pointer

Here's what I did for the spacing etc.

//
// Before any messages are written to the log, reduce the line spacing a bit
// and reduce the font size by one
//
QTextBlockFormat bf = messageLog->textCursor().blockFormat();
bf.setLineHeight(85, QTextBlockFormat::ProportionalHeight);
messageLog->textCursor().setBlockFormat(bf);
QFont font{ messageLog->currentFont() };
font.setPointSize(font.pointSize() - 1); font.setWeight(QFont::Medium);
messageLog->setFont(font);

and for appending:

messageLog->moveCursor(QTextCursor::End);
messageLog->insertPlainText(message);
