Measuring width of rich text with TextMetrics

[Trian]

When text contains line break, TextMetrics width returns width as if there is no line break in text. FontMetrics behaves the same.

import QtQuick 2.11
import QtQuick.Window 2.11

Window {
    id: mainWindow
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    TextMetrics {
        id: textMetrics
        font.family: "Arial"
        elide: Text.ElideMiddle
        elideWidth: 100
        font.pointSize: 14
        text: "Hello<br>World!!!"
    }

    FontMetrics {
        id: fontMetrics
        font.family: "Arial"
        font.pointSize: 14
    }

    Rectangle {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        border.width: 1
        width: 300
        height: 200
        Text {
            anchors.centerIn: parent
            font : textMetrics.font
            text: textMetrics.text
        }
    }

    Rectangle {
        color: "yellow"
        opacity: 0.5
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        width: textMetrics.width
        height: textMetrics.height
    }
}

What's your goal ?

You can get the actual text dimensions of an existing Text item with contentWidth and contentHeight.
