I am trying to get the bounding box for the text shown on html page.
I used the QWebFrame to iterate over the dom tree and used QWebElement's
geometry element to get the bounding box of the html tags, however using
this technique I can't get bounding box of the text as text are not html
tags.
Can anyone please tell me how to get the bounding box of the text or how
to accurately calculate it from the bounding box of the parent tag and
sibling tags. Any reference to code in qt/webkit would be very useful.
It is impossible. I mentioned that before, you can look for the
explanation in the logs of this list.
In short, the geometry of the text cannot be expressed by the DOM.
Imagine a huge pile of text with a floating element inside (image in
text for example).
The DOM gives you a single element for a text. This element can be
splitted inside the engine for the layout.
cheers,
Benjamin
