Printing rich text
Message 1 in thread
Hi all!
I think, for the most of you, my question is too simple, so I want to
appologise.
But I don't know how to start ...
What I want to do, is to include somewhere in my printout a QString which
contains a rich text.
I draw some other texts, images, tables on the page, and then I want to
start printing the rich text I get from a QString.
So I have the position on page, where I should start including the text.
The text may be long enough to continue on the next pages.
How could it be possible to build such blocks of text according to my pages
limits, and then have these blocks printed?
I mention that I use Qt 4.1 and MS VS7.
Thanks in advance for your help!

There is a very easy way with Qt 4 to print rich text. Just do this:
// Ask the user about printer settings
QPrinter printer;
QPrintDialog dialog( &printer, someWindowHere );
if ( dialog.exec() == QDialog::Accepted ) {
QString myRichText;
// fill that string with your data using this subset of HTML
// http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/richtext-html-subset.html
QTextDocument doc;
doc.setHtml( myRichText );
doc.print( &printer );
}
