what does <qt> and </qt> mean?

clogwog

from http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/richtext-html-subset.html

qt Qt rich-text document Synonym for html. Provided for compatibility with earlier versions of Qt.

so i guess it means the string is a html document..so you should be able to apply html formatting between those 2 tags.

why does it is "Provided for compatibility with earlier versions of Qt."?

Earlier versions of Qt used <qt> and </qt>, but now you should be using the standard <html> and </html> tags.

I cannot find <qt> and <html> mentioned in
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/richtext-html-subset.html
but only found "Widgets automatically detect HTML markup and display rich text accordingly."

since "Widgets automatically detect HTML markup and display rich text accordingly. ",so I think there is no need to use <qt> and <html> in current Qt.
