One of the many (MANY) side effects of moving to Qt 6 (and yes, I know.. Qt 
6.10.1 is out, so we may be a bit behind on this one - but then again, it's 
almost to the day 5 years since the Qt 6.0 release... so it's not THAT bad... 
oops)

Anyway, one of those side effects is "no more WebKit". And I know we went down 
that rabbit hole a few times already, but browsing through my email archives 
I'm not quite sure what the current state is. We had several attempt to move 
printing to use WebEngine - but I don't think any of them ever resulted in 
something that actually worked across platforms.

The user manual display does seem to work for me on macOS - but I think we 
learned the hard way that this needs to be tested on every platform before we 
can be confident that it ACTUALLY does what we want.

So this email is a request for help and a request for people to refresh my 
memory.

- how much of 'user manual with WebEngine' has been tested?
- what is the latest state of 'printing without WebKit'?
- who else is working on Qt 6 support?

On the plus side, I am making decent progress on creating macOS Qt 6 builds on 
GitHub, in addition to the Fedora builds that we've had for a while.

Still a long way to go. But progress.

/D
