Hi,
I've been using a QTextEdit for a while as a simple rich text editor, and recently been playing with various ideas and have hit a bit of a block. Essentially what I want to do is this: editor.insert("<a href='"+str(page)+"'>"+str(page)+"</a>" ) And have that rendered _and stored in the text_(*) as a hyperlink - ie the above line results in (with defaults) "page" being rendered underlined in blue. (*) Hence a stylesheet isn't an option here :-( Instead however what I see in the editor is this: <a href='Somepage'>Somepage</a> (Which gets saved as <a href ... etc ) However, if I use this: editor.append("<a href='"+str(page)+"'>"+str(page)+"</a>" ) This is correctly interpreted as being a hyperlink, and saved as a hyperlink. The question I have really is this - is there any way round this, short of building up this behaviour from scratch doing something like: (pseudocode) if hasSelectedText t = selectedText removeSelectedText p = getCursorPosition setCursorPosition(end of text) q = getCursorPosition append("thing I want") r= setCursorPosition(end of text) setSelection(between q and r) cut setCursorPosition(p) paste ? It seems like a lot of faff ? (obviously I'd wrap that up in a function, probably called something like insertRichText(), but even so... (I'd be happy with a "replace selection" option instead, but I can't see that - hopefully I'm being blind :) ) Failing that, if I really have missed something and there's a much simpler way of doing this I'd really appreciate a pointer, slap round the head :) Thanks for any responses, Michael. _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
