(switched mailing list to interest since this post is not about qt development per se) Hi, are you aware of the Qt based Zeal [1] documentation browser project? The project shares code with Dash [2] (basically the same thing for MacOS). IMHO it is a good alternative to Qt Assistant and IIRC there also was a plugin for KTextEditor based editors.
