HTML tags in QLabel

QT-static-prgm

Hi,

i use html tags to format my textes. But sometimes it seams not to work:

if (!ClientName.isEmpty() && !oldChannel.isEmpty() && !newChannel.isEmpty())
	{
		// joined my channel
		if (newChannelID == getCurrentChannel(serverConnectionHandlerID))
			getController(serverConnectionHandlerID)->addChatLine(QString("<font color=\"#00FFFF\">%1 <font size=\"-5\">entered from</font> %2</font>").arg(ClientName).arg(oldChannel));
		// quit my channel
		else if (oldChannelID == getCurrentChannel(serverConnectionHandlerID))
			getController(serverConnectionHandlerID)->addChatLine(QString("<font color=\"#00FFFF\">%1 <font size=\"-5\">left to</font> %2</font>").arg(ClientName).arg(newChannel));
		// somewhere else
		else
			getController(serverConnectionHandlerID)->addChatLine(QString("<font size=\"-5\">%1 moved from %2 to %3</font>").arg(ClientName).arg(oldChannel).arg(newChannel));
	}
	else if (!ClientName.isEmpty() && oldChannel.isEmpty() && !newChannel.isEmpty())
	{
		getController(serverConnectionHandlerID)->addChatLine(QString("%1 <font size=\"-5\">connected to</font> %2").arg(ClientName).arg(newChannel));
	}

this does not work, too

QString("<font size=\"-5\"><%1></font> %2").arg(fromName).arg(message)

The result should be
<name> MESSAGE
But it does not work. I'm pretty sure it's because of the <> things. So is there a way that those are displayed and ignored from the html format if they are no keywords such as font??

Hi
The most easy way to check such stuff is using the HTML editor
Place a QLabel on a form, right click it and Choose Change HTML
alt text

Then paste your generated html code in "source" and see what it dont like
or Try to visually create what you want and check the HTML.

i could fix the chat thing with that using

&lt;

But it does not work if someone has <> in his nick name

QString("%1 <font size=\"-5\">connected to</font> %2").arg(ClientName).arg(newChannel)

Any ideas about that??
