Hi,

  Why QString class member? What about differences between XML and HTML? I 
believe we should think about more generic (and more complex) solution. Do we 
need to construct a HTML source too? What about WebKit? I think the code you 
need is already there (QWebView::setHtml somehow works).

Cheers,
