[SOLVED] strange output for html bold

kalster

@ message = "the good <b&gt example";
ui->textEdit->append(message);@

the above code outputs to the textEdit...
@the good <b&gT example@

when it should output...
@the good example@

is there a reason for this odd behavior. am i missing something in the code? if the code was changed to...

@message = "the good <b&gt";@

then the white spaces would still be removed but the would be replaced with <b&gT. I have tried message.left, message.mid, and in those cases, the white spaces are still removed.

the code does the same for html strong, eg, &lT;strong&gt, and any other html inside of &lT;and &gt.

I need to output to the textEdit. if i typed textEdit->append(""); then it would not output. is there a way to type with it still going to the output because &lT;and &gt just does not seem to work correctly.

Is your textEdit rich text or is it plain text one?

hi Eus. we posted at the same time. I finally discovered my error. I had a textEdit and outputting the results to that textEdit. instead, i should have had a plainTextEdit and outputting the results to it.
