Hi, ...my 2 cents or so...

Pardon my lingo, but I do not give a rats furry behind about how it looks and whether it is on full parity with the way it is shown in a browser as long as I have all the content. It is documentation for developers for crying out loud! Its purpose is not to win any design prices, but to educate the developers. > Here's a ticket that hasn't gone very far: > > https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-15887 > > Can we keep the personal attacks out of this and perhaps stick to the issue? > I'm definitely not lying.

Sorry, but I just tried a very simple example with QTextBrowser: In my book this is exactly like a table should be rendered. Granted it is not very flashy looking, but it is definitely a table and it has borders. Source: #include <QApplication> #include <QTextBrowser> int main(int ac,char**av) { QApplication a(ac,av); QTextBrowser tb; tb.setHtml("<html><table frame='1' border='1'><tr><td>hello<td>world<tr><td>woo<td>hoo!</table>"); tb.show(); return a.exec(); } (embedding <style> does not change anything, but I do not mind that much) I suggest there is a fundamental disconnect between what you mean by "how tables should be rendered" and what many of us old-school command-line-wielding guys mean by the same phrase. > You could check: https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager/manifest.html none of > that alternating row color or design shows up.

As a developer I expect it to frigging be there, no matter the look. That's it. Don't get me wrong: I'd love a somewhat better styling in QTextBrowser. But I definitely do not want it to cost me over a hundred megabytes of memory, 20 different Javascript engines (I don't even want a single one!), a renderer for every obscure image format, flashing and jumping graphics elements or a full multimedia player inside a simple text browser! Especially if this text is some simple class description or a tutorial that shows me what the options of a dialog are. Konrad
