Next question:

      How do I save and restore to HTML?

Hi Bill,

I can't help with the saving.  But we display html documents with<object>
tags and replace them with QWidgets:


The HTML representation is kind of an abomination and ultimately
I would like to have more control, so I just wrote my own XML read/write
code at the cost of ~250 LOC.

Thanks

Bill

- We fetch all of the text using codecForHtml.
- Search for<object>  tags, parse the arguments and replace the tags with
plain "[[object]]" markers, building up a list of their locations.
- Set the modified html into a QTextBrowser.
- Loop over the locations (in reverse order) and create a widget for each
object, parented by the browser, remove the text and insert the
ObjectReplacementCharacter.

There are lots of painful gotchas to work around - moving the widgets to the
correct location, hiding the widgets until required, rendering with the
correct scale when printing, etc.

The document object interface is pretty stunted - in Qt4 I don't believe
there was a virtual hook into the html saving process to handle the special
characters.  I suspect you'll need to modify the Qt sources, or create a
copy of the document, and do the reverse of the steps above.

Good luck!

Tony
