QTextEdit

bulgakovk

Hello there.
I'm trying to append string "\tTest" to QTextEdit widget. The problem is that widget renders only HTML and doesn't add tab symbol. Are there any ways to render both escape symbols and HTML tags? I really appreciate any advices.

hi
The editor seems to like it.

code looks like
<html><head/><body> TEST</body></html>

Hi,
you can use QPlainTextEdit to enter plain text instead of HTML.

If you want in QTextEdit.

use

QTextEdit m_textedit = new QTextEdit;
m_textedit->append("\t Text");

it will append tab space and then prints text

And if you want to have the text bold and increase font size
Qt have provided setStyleSheet method

You can use it

m_textedit->setStyleSheet("font-size:8.25pt; font-weight:600;");

@Pradeep-Kumar So I need to setStyleSheet for every HTML tag, and what about other tags like inserting image? Don't think that It's good solution.
As I see QTextEdit can't work with both type of symbols, am I correct?

Hi
It can work with tabs.
Just right click a textedit and use the editor.
You can then see the
HTML code directly.

HTML has no "tab space" so it's not a limitation of Qt but of HTML itself, you can use      as a mimic replacement

 "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Test</b>"

Thanks
I will try to solve my problem this way.

as specified by @VRonin
you can use &nbsp

and if you want to insert image also you can use tags as well.

QTextDocumentFragment fragment;
fragment = QTextDocumentFragment::fromHtml("<img       src=':/new/prefix1/images/image.png'>");
m_textedit->textCursor().insertFragment(fragment);
