[Qgis-user] Fields Text Edit widget HTML option: How is it supposed to work?

2015-05-31 Thread Bernd Vogelgesang
Hi, in my search for means to create more complex labelling, I stumbled upon the option for the Text Edit widget to check Multiline which enables a HTML checkbox. As I only find zero description on that feature, I wonder what it is good for, cause using it only yields strange results:

Hi, Christof! I didn't practice 3D for a while and I'm not a geek either. QGIS does not explicitely treat vectorial 3D information, but some (many?) tools treat the vectors without losing Z values. Besides, QGIS evolves so fast that it is difficult to keep track of the way it handles z

Dear Andre, Is it possible, because of the different WKT string specification, my shape files was misaligned for about 200 meters to 300 meters when I chose Kertau (RSO)/RSO Malaya (m) (EPSG:3168) as the projection (OTF)? In view of that issue, can you advise me if I 1) can I still use the Kertau
