# QTextEdit
|
|
|
|
The QTextEdit widget is an advanced editor that supports formatted rich text.
|
|
It can be used to display HTML and other rich document formats. Internally,
|
|
QTextEdit uses the QTextDocument class to describe both the high-level
|
|
structure of each document and the low-level formatting of paragraphs.
|
|
|
|
If you are viewing this document in the textedit example, you can edit this
|
|
document to explore Qt's rich text editing features. We have included some
|
|
comments in each of the following sections to encourage you to experiment.
|
|
|
|
## Font and Paragraph Styles
|
|
|
|
QTextEdit supports **bold**, *italic*, _underline_ & ~~strikethrough~~ font
|
|
styles, and can display
|
|
<span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:600; color:#00007f;"> multicolored</span>
|
|
text. Font families such as
|
|
<span style="font-family:Times New Roman">Times New Roman</span> and
|
|
<span style="font-family:Courier">Courier</span>
|
|
can also be used directly. *If you place the cursor in a region of styled text,
|
|
the controls in the tool bars will change to reflect the current style.*
|
|
|
|
Paragraphs can be formatted so that the text is left-aligned, right-aligned,
|
|
centered, or fully justified.
|
|
|
|
*Try changing the alignment of some text and resize the editor to see how the
|
|
text layout changes.*
|
|
|
|
## Lists
|
|
|
|
Different kinds of lists can be included in rich text documents. Standard
|
|
bullet lists can be nested, using different symbols for each level of the list:
|
|
|
|
- Disc symbols are typically used for top-level list items.
|
|
* Circle symbols can be used to distinguish between items in lower-level
|
|
lists.
|
|
+ Square symbols provide a reasonable alternative to discs and circles.
|
|
|
|
Ordered lists can be created that can be used for tables of contents. Different
|
|
characters can be used to enumerate items, and we can use both Roman and Arabic
|
|
numerals in the same list structure:
|
|
|
|
1. Introduction
|
|
2. Qt Tools
|
|
1) Qt Assistant
|
|
2) Qt Designer
|
|
1. Form Editor
|
|
2. Component Architecture
|
|
3) Qt Linguist
|
|
|
|
The list will automatically be renumbered if you add or remove items. *Try
|
|
adding new sections to the above list or removing existing item to see the
|
|
numbers change.*
|
|
|
|
Task lists can be used to track progress on projects:
|
|
|
|
- [ ] This is not yet done
|
|
- This is just a bullet point
|
|
- [x] This is done
|
|
|
|
## Images
|
|
|
|
Inline images are treated like ordinary ranges of characters in the text
|
|
editor, so they flow with the surrounding text. Images can also be selected in
|
|
the same way as text, making it easy to cut, copy, and paste them.
|
|
|
|
 *Try to select this image by clicking and
|
|
dragging over it with the mouse, or use the text cursor to select it by holding
|
|
down Shift and using the arrow keys. You can then cut or copy it, and paste it
|
|
into different parts of this document.*
|
|
|
|
## Tables
|
|
|
|
QTextEdit can arrange and format tables, supporting features such as row and
|
|
column spans, text formatting within cells, and size constraints for columns.

*Try adding text to the cells in the table and experiment with the alignment of
|
|
the paragraphs.*
|
|
|
|
## Hyperlinks
|
|
|
|
QTextEdit is designed to support hyperlinks between documents, and this feature
|
|
is used extensively in
|
|
[Qt Assistant](http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtassistant-index.html). Hyperlinks are
|
|
automatically created when an HTML file is imported into an editor. Since the
|
|
rich text framework supports hyperlinks natively, they can also be created
|
|
programmatically.
|
|
|
|
## Undo and Redo
|
|
|
|
Full support for undo and redo operations is built into QTextEdit and the
|
|
underlying rich text framework. Operations on a document can be packaged
|
|
together to make editing a more comfortable experience for the user.
|
|
|
|
*Try making changes to this document and press `Ctrl+Z` to undo them. You can
|
|
always recover the original contents of the document.*
