243<p> <h3> Introduction and Concepts
244</h3>
245<a name="1"></a><p> QTextEdit is an advanced WYSIWYG viewer/editor supporting rich
246text formatting using HTML-style tags. It is optimized to handle
247large documents and to respond quickly to user input.
248<p> QTextEdit has four modes of operation:
249<center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
250<tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top">Mode <th valign="top">Command <th valign="top">Notes
251<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">Plain Text Editor <td valign="top">setTextFormat(PlainText)
252<td valign="top">Set text with <a href="#setText">setText</a>(); <a href="#text">text</a>() returns plain text. Text

273<p> <sup>1.</sup><small>A more complete API that supports setting
274margins, images, etc., is planned for a later Qt release.</small>
275<p> QTextEdit can be used as a syntax highlighting editor when used in
276conjunction with <a href="qsyntaxhighlighter.html">QSyntaxHighlighter</a>.
277<p> We recommend that you always call <a href="#setTextFormat">setTextFormat</a>() to set the mode
278you want to use. If you use <a href="qt.html#TextFormat-enum">AutoText</a> then <a href="#setText">setText</a>() and
279<a href="#append">append</a>() will try to determine whether the text they are given is
280plain text or rich text. If you use <a href="qt.html#TextFormat-enum">RichText</a> then setText() and
281append() will assume that the text they are given is rich text.
282<a href="#insert">insert</a>() simply inserts the text it is given.
283<p> QTextEdit works on paragraphs and characters. A paragraph is a
284formatted string which is word-wrapped to fit into the width of
285the widget. By default when reading plain text, one newline
286signify a paragraph. A document consists of zero or more
287paragraphs, indexed from 0. Characters are indexed on a
288per-paragraph basis, also indexed from 0. The words in the
289paragraph are aligned in accordance with the paragraph's
290<a href="#alignment">alignment</a>(). Paragraphs are separated by hard line breaks. Each
291character within a paragraph has its own attributes, for example,
292font and color.
293<p> The text edit documentation uses the following concepts:
294<ul>
295<li> <em>current format</em> --
296this is the format at the current cursor position, <em>and</em> it
297is the format of the selected text if any.
298<li> <em>current paragraph</em> -- the paragraph which contains the
299cursor.
300</ul>
301<p> QTextEdit can display images (using <a href="qmimesourcefactory.html">QMimeSourceFactory</a>), lists and
302tables. If the text is too large to view within the text edit's
303viewport, scrollbars will appear. The text edit can load both
304plain text and HTML files (a subset of HTML 3.2 and 4). The
305rendering style and the set of valid tags are defined by a
306<a href="#styleSheet">styleSheet</a>(). Custom tags can be created and placed in a custom
307style sheet. Change the style sheet with <a href="#setStyleSheet">setStyleSheet</a>(); see
308<a href="qstylesheet.html">QStyleSheet</a> for details. The images identified by image tags are
309displayed if they can be interpreted using the text edit's
310<a href="qmimesourcefactory.html">QMimeSourceFactory</a>; see <a href="#setMimeSourceFactory">setMimeSourceFactory</a>().
311<p> If you want a text browser with more navigation use <a href="qtextbrowser.html">QTextBrowser</a>.
312If you just need to display a small piece of rich text use <a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a>
313or <a href="qsimplerichtext.html">QSimpleRichText</a>.
314<p> If you create a new QTextEdit, and want to allow the user to edit
315rich text, call <a href="#setTextFormat">setTextFormat</a>(Qt::RichText) to ensure that the
316text is treated as rich text. (Rich text uses HTML tags to set
317text formatting attributes. See QStyleSheet for information on the
318HTML tags that are supported.). If you don't call setTextFormat()
319explicitly the text edit will guess from the text itself whether
320it is rich text or plain text. This means that if the text looks
321like HTML or XML it will probably be interpreted as rich text, so
322you should call setTextFormat(Qt::PlainText) to preserve such
323text.
324<p> Note that we do not intend to add a full-featured web browser
325widget to Qt (because that would easily double Qt's size and only
326a few applications would benefit from it). The rich
327text support in Qt is designed to provide a fast, portable and
328efficient way to add reasonable online help facilities to
329applications, and to provide a basis for rich text editors.
330<p> <h3> Using QTextEdit as a Display Widget
331</h3>
332<a name="1-1"></a><p> QTextEdit can display a large HTML subset, including tables and
333images.
334<p> The text is set or replaced using <a href="#setText">setText</a>() which deletes any
335existing text and replaces it with the text passed in the
336setText() call. If you call setText() with legacy HTML (with
337<a href="#setTextFormat">setTextFormat</a>(RichText) in force), and then call <a href="#text">text</a>(), the text
338that is returned may have different markup, but will render the
339same. Text can be inserted with <a href="#insert">insert</a>(), <a href="#paste">paste</a>(), <a href="#pasteSubType">pasteSubType</a>()
340and <a href="#append">append</a>(). Text that is appended does not go into the undo
341history; this makes append() faster and consumes less memory. Text
342can also be <a href="#cut">cut</a>(). The entire text is deleted with <a href="#clear">clear</a>() and the
343selected text is deleted with <a href="#removeSelectedText">removeSelectedText</a>(). Selected
344(marked) text can also be deleted with <a href="#del">del</a>() (which will delete
345the character to the right of the cursor if no text is selected).
346<p> Loading and saving text is achieved using <a href="#setText">setText</a>() and text(),
347for example:
348<pre>
349 <a href="qfile.html">QFile</a> file( fileName ); // Read the text from a file
350 if ( file.<a href="qfile.html#open">open</a>( <a href="qfile.html#open">IO_ReadOnly</a> ) ) {
351 <a href="qtextstream.html">QTextStream</a> stream( &amp;file );
352 textEdit-&gt;setText( stream.<a href="qtextstream.html#read">read</a>() );
353 }
354
355 <a href="qfile.html">QFile</a> file( fileName ); // Write the text to a file
356 if ( file.<a href="qfile.html#open">open</a>( <a href="qfile.html#open">IO_WriteOnly</a> ) ) {
357 <a href="qtextstream.html">QTextStream</a> stream( &amp;file );
358 stream &lt;&lt; textEdit-&gt;text();
359 textEdit-&gt;setModified( FALSE );
360 }
361 </pre>
362
363<p> By default the text edit wraps words at whitespace to fit within
364the text edit widget. The <a href="#setWordWrap">setWordWrap</a>() function is used to
365specify the kind of word wrap you want, or <a href="#WordWrap-enum">NoWrap</a> if you don't
366want any wrapping. Call setWordWrap() to set a fixed pixel width
367<a href="#WordWrap-enum">FixedPixelWidth</a>, or character column (e.g. 80 column) <a href="#WordWrap-enum">FixedColumnWidth</a> with the pixels or columns specified with
368<a href="#setWrapColumnOrWidth">setWrapColumnOrWidth</a>(). If you use word wrap to the widget's width
369<a href="#WordWrap-enum">WidgetWidth</a>, you can specify whether to break on whitespace or
370anywhere with <a href="#setWrapPolicy">setWrapPolicy</a>().
371<p> The background color is set differently than other widgets, using
372<a href="#setPaper">setPaper</a>(). You specify a brush style which could be a plain color
373or a complex pixmap.
374<p> Hypertext links are automatically underlined; this can be changed
375with <a href="#setLinkUnderline">setLinkUnderline</a>(). The tab stop width is set with
376<a href="#setTabStopWidth">setTabStopWidth</a>().
377<p> The <a href="#zoomIn">zoomIn</a>() and <a href="#zoomOut">zoomOut</a>() functions can be used to resize the
378text by increasing (decreasing for zoomOut()) the point size used.
379Images are not affected by the zoom functions.
380<p> The <a href="#lines">lines</a>() function returns the number of lines in the text and
381<a href="#paragraphs">paragraphs</a>() returns the number of paragraphs. The number of lines
382within a particular paragraph is returned by <a href="#linesOfParagraph">linesOfParagraph</a>().
383The length of the entire text in characters is returned by
384<a href="#length">length</a>().
385<p> You can scroll to an anchor in the text, e.g.
386<tt>&lt;a name="anchor"&gt;</tt> with <a href="#scrollToAnchor">scrollToAnchor</a>(). The <a href="#find">find</a>() function
387can be used to find and select a given string within the text.
388<p> A read-only QTextEdit provides the same functionality as the
389(obsolete) QTextView. (QTextView is still supplied for
390compatibility with old code.)
391<p> <h4> Read-only key bindings
392</h4>
393<a name="1-1-1"></a><p> When QTextEdit is used read-only the key-bindings are limited to
394navigation, and text may only be selected with the mouse:
395<center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
396<tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top">Keypresses <th valign="top">Action
397<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">UpArrow <td valign="top">Move one line up
398<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">DownArrow <td valign="top">Move one line down
399<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">LeftArrow <td valign="top">Move one character left
400<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">RightArrow <td valign="top">Move one character right
401<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">PageUp <td valign="top">Move one (viewport) page up
402<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">PageDown <td valign="top">Move one (viewport) page down
403<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">Home <td valign="top">Move to the beginning of the text
404<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">End <td valign="top">Move to the end of the text
405<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">Shift+Wheel
406<td valign="top">Scroll the page horizontally (the Wheel is the mouse wheel)
407<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">Ctrl+Wheel <td valign="top">Zoom the text
408</table></center>
409<p> The text edit may be able to provide some meta-information. For
410example, the <a href="#documentTitle">documentTitle</a>() function will return the text from
411within HTML <tt>&lt;title&gt;</tt> tags.
412<p> The text displayed in a text edit has a <em>context</em>. The context is
413a path which the text edit's <a href="qmimesourcefactory.html">QMimeSourceFactory</a> uses to resolve
414the locations of files and images. It is passed to the
415<a href="#mimeSourceFactory">mimeSourceFactory</a>() when quering data. (See QTextEdit() and
416<a href="#context">context</a>().)
417<p> <a name="logtextmode"></a>
418<h4> Using QTextEdit in LogText Mode
419</h4>
420<a name="1-1-2"></a><p> Setting the text format to <a href="qt.html#TextFormat-enum">LogText</a> puts the widget in a special
421mode which is optimized for very large texts. Editing, word wrap,
422and rich text support are disabled in this mode (the widget is
423explicitly made read-only). This allows the text to be stored in a
424different, more memory efficient manner. However, a certain degree
425of text formatting is supported through the use of formatting tags.
426A tag is delimited by <tt>&lt;</tt> and <tt>&gt;</tt>. The characters <tt>&lt;</tt>, <tt>&gt;</tt>
427and <tt>&amp;</tt> are escaped by using <tt>&amp;lt;</tt>, <tt>&amp;gt;</tt> and <tt>&amp;amp;</tt>.
428A tag pair consists of a left and a right tag (or open/close tags).
429Left-tags mark the starting point for formatting, while right-tags
430mark the ending point. A right-tag always start with a <tt>/</tt> before
431the tag keyword. For example <tt>&lt;b&gt;</tt> and <tt>&lt;/b&gt;</tt> are a tag pair.
432Tags can be nested, but they have to be closed in the same order as
433they are opened. For example, <tt>&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</tt> is valid, while <tt>&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;</tt> will output an error message.
434<p> By using tags it is possible to change the color, bold, italic and
435underline settings for a piece of text. A color can be specified
436by using the HTML font tag <tt>&lt;font color=colorname&gt;</tt>. The color
437name can be one of the color names from the X11 color database, or
438a RGB hex value (e.g <tt>#00ff00</tt>). Example of valid color tags:
439<tt>&lt;font color=red&gt;</tt>, <tt>&lt;font color="light blue"&gt;</tt>, <tt>&lt;font color="#223344"&gt;</tt>. Bold, italic and underline settings can be
440specified by the tags <tt>&lt;b&gt;</tt>, <tt>&lt;i&gt;</tt> and <tt>&lt;u&gt;</tt>. Note that a
441tag does not necessarily have to be closed. A valid example:
442<pre>
443 This is &lt;font color=red&gt;red&lt;/font&gt; while &lt;b&gt;this&lt;/b&gt; is &lt;font color=blue&gt;blue&lt;/font&gt;.
444 &lt;font color=green&gt;&lt;font color=yellow&gt;Yellow,&lt;/font&gt; and &lt;u&gt;green&lt;/u&gt;.
445 </pre>
446
447<p> Stylesheets can also be used in LogText mode. To create and use a
448custom tag, you could do the following:
449<pre>
450 QTextEdit * log = new QTextEdit( this );
451 log-&gt;<a href="#setTextFormat">setTextFormat</a>( Qt::<a href="qt.html#TextFormat-enum">LogText</a> );
452 <a href="qstylesheetitem.html">QStyleSheetItem</a> * item = new <a href="qstylesheetitem.html">QStyleSheetItem</a>( log-&gt;<a href="#styleSheet">styleSheet</a>(), "mytag" );
453 item-&gt;<a href="qstylesheetitem.html#setColor">setColor</a>( "red" );
454 item-&gt;<a href="qstylesheetitem.html#setFontWeight">setFontWeight</a>( QFont::Bold );
455 item-&gt;<a href="qstylesheetitem.html#setFontUnderline">setFontUnderline</a>( TRUE );
456 log-&gt;<a href="#append">append</a>( "This is a &lt;mytag&gt;custom tag&lt;/mytag&gt;!" );
457 </pre>
458
459Note that only the color, bold, underline and italic attributes of
460a <a href="qstylesheetitem.html">QStyleSheetItem</a> is used in LogText mode.
461<p> Note that you can use <a href="#setMaxLogLines">setMaxLogLines</a>() to limit the number of
462lines the widget can hold in LogText mode.
463<p> There are a few things that you need to be aware of when the
464widget is in this mode:
465<ul>
466<li> Functions that deal with rich text formatting and cursor
467movement will not work or return anything valid.
468<li> Lines are equivalent to paragraphs.
469</ul>
470<p> <h3> Using QTextEdit as an Editor
471</h3>
472<a name="1-2"></a><p> All the information about using QTextEdit as a display widget also
473applies here.
474<p> The current format's attributes are set with <a href="#setItalic">setItalic</a>(),
475<a href="#setBold">setBold</a>(), <a href="#setUnderline">setUnderline</a>(), <a href="#setFamily">setFamily</a>() (font family),
476<a href="#setPointSize">setPointSize</a>(), <a href="#setColor">setColor</a>() and <a href="#setCurrentFont">setCurrentFont</a>(). The current
477paragraph's alignment is set with <a href="#setAlignment">setAlignment</a>().
478<p> Use <a href="#setSelection">setSelection</a>() to select text. The <a href="#setSelectionAttributes">setSelectionAttributes</a>()
479function is used to indicate how selected text should be
480displayed. Use <a href="#hasSelectedText">hasSelectedText</a>() to find out if any text is
481selected. The currently selected text's position is available
482using <a href="#getSelection">getSelection</a>() and the selected text itself is returned by
483<a href="#selectedText">selectedText</a>(). The selection can be copied to the clipboard with
484<a href="#copy">copy</a>(), or cut to the clipboard with <a href="#cut">cut</a>(). It can be deleted with
485<a href="#removeSelectedText">removeSelectedText</a>(). The entire text can be selected (or
486unselected) using <a href="#selectAll">selectAll</a>(). QTextEdit supports multiple
487selections. Most of the selection functions operate on the default
488selection, selection 0. If the user presses a non-selecting key,
489e.g. a cursor key without also holding down Shift, all selections
490are cleared.
491<p> Set and get the position of the cursor with <a href="#setCursorPosition">setCursorPosition</a>()
492and <a href="#getCursorPosition">getCursorPosition</a>() respectively. When the cursor is moved,
493the signals <a href="#currentFontChanged">currentFontChanged</a>(), <a href="#currentColorChanged">currentColorChanged</a>() and
494<a href="#currentAlignmentChanged">currentAlignmentChanged</a>() are emitted to reflect the font, color
495and alignment at the new cursor position.
496<p> If the text changes, the <a href="#textChanged">textChanged</a>() signal is emitted, and if
497the user inserts a new line by pressing Return or Enter,
498<a href="#returnPressed">returnPressed</a>() is emitted. The <a href="#isModified">isModified</a>() function will return
499TRUE if the text has been modified.
500<p> QTextEdit provides command-based undo and redo. To set the depth
501of the command history use <a href="#setUndoDepth">setUndoDepth</a>() which defaults to 100
502steps. To undo or redo the last operation call <a href="#undo">undo</a>() or <a href="#redo">redo</a>().
503The signals <a href="#undoAvailable">undoAvailable</a>() and <a href="#redoAvailable">redoAvailable</a>() indicate whether
504the undo and redo operations can be executed.
505<p> The indent() function is used to reindent a paragraph. It is
506useful for code editors, for example in <a href="designer-manual.html">Qt Designer</a>'s code editor <em>Ctrl+I</em> invokes the indent()
507function.
508<p> <h4> Editing key bindings

550<p> To select (mark) text hold down the Shift key whilst pressing one
551of the movement keystrokes, for example, <em>Shift+Right Arrow</em>
552will select the character to the right, and <em>Shift+Ctrl+Right Arrow</em> will select the word to the right, etc.
553<p> By default the text edit widget operates in insert mode so all
554text that the user enters is inserted into the text edit and any
555text to the right of the cursor is moved out of the way. The mode
556can be changed to overwrite, where new text overwrites any text to
557the right of the cursor, using <a href="#setOverwriteMode">setOverwriteMode</a>().

648</h3>
649Constructs a QTextEdit called <em>name</em>, with parent <em>parent</em>. The
650text edit will display the text <em>text</em> using context <em>context</em>.
651<p> The <em>context</em> is a path which the text edit's <a href="qmimesourcefactory.html">QMimeSourceFactory</a>
652uses to resolve the locations of files and images. It is passed to
653the <a href="#mimeSourceFactory">mimeSourceFactory</a>() when quering data.
654<p> For example if the text contains an image tag,
655<tt>&lt;img src="image.png"&gt;</tt>, and the context is "path/to/look/in", the
656QMimeSourceFactory will try to load the image from
657"path/to/look/in/image.png". If the tag was
658<tt>&lt;img src="/image.png"&gt;</tt>, the context will not be used (because
659QMimeSourceFactory recognizes that we have used an absolute path)
660and will try to load "/image.png". The context is applied in exactly
661the same way to <em>hrefs</em>, for example,
662<tt>&lt;a href="target.html"&gt;Target&lt;/a&gt;</tt>, would resolve to
663"path/to/look/in/target.html".

935</h3>
936Inserts <em>text</em> at the current cursor position.
937<p> The <em>insertionFlags</em> define how the text is inserted. If <a href="#TextInsertionFlags-enum">RedoIndentation</a> is set, the paragraph is re-indented. If <a href="#TextInsertionFlags-enum">CheckNewLines</a> is set, newline characters in <em>text</em> result in hard
938line breaks (i.e. new paragraphs). If <tt>checkNewLine</tt> is not set,
939the behaviour of the editor is undefined if the <em>text</em> contains
940newlines. (It is not possible to change QTextEdit's newline handling
941behavior, but you can use <a href="qstring.html#replace">QString::replace</a>() to preprocess text
942before inserting it.) If <a href="#TextInsertionFlags-enum">RemoveSelected</a> is set, any selected
943text (in selection 0) is removed before the text is inserted.

1567<li> LogText - optimized mode for very large texts. Supports a very
1568limited set of formatting tags (color, bold, underline and italic
1569settings).
1570<li> AutoText - this is the default. The text edit autodetects which
1571rendering style is best, <a href="qt.html#TextFormat-enum">PlainText</a> or <a href="qt.html#TextFormat-enum">RichText</a>. This is done
1572by using the <a href="qstylesheet.html#mightBeRichText">QStyleSheet::mightBeRichText</a>() function.

1594occur within words use <a href="#setWrapPolicy">setWrapPolicy</a>(). If you set a wrap mode of
1595<a href="#WordWrap-enum">FixedPixelWidth</a> or <a href="#WordWrap-enum">FixedColumnWidth</a> you should also call
