Can we use Qt to develop a word processor application?
-
Just to be more specific with what I mean by word processor: it creates and edit a document, formattable text, can insert picture, list and numbering, WYSIWYG, etc; so it's more than a text editor (which I've learned is created with QTextEdit).
A very general question so answer can be a general one too.
Thanks. -
Yes, Qt supports "rich text processing":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/4.8/richtext.html. Please follow the link to get started.

[quote author="naranokia" date="1341434224"]That's great! Thanks for answering so quickly. I looked at the link and it's definitely the place where I should get started. Sometime in the future I will probably get back and asking more technical questions. Cheers.[/quote]
You are welcome :)

An example of a (complex) word processor created with Qt, is the "Calligra Words":http://calligra-suite.org/words/ application.

Yes, Qt is the best way to develop this.

i always reached a dead-end quickly when i was using QTextEdit for such feature-rich purposes, especially with QTextDocument's capabilities.
But i guess i have to take a look into the source of "Calligra Words". But i guess they do not use QTextEdit either.
