[Interest] How to develop a WYSIWYG HTML editor based on QtWebkit?

Wed Aug 8 05:38:07 CEST 2012

Thank you! What I try to develop is a full feature HTML editor just like
Windows Live Writer. QTextEdit seems only support a subset of HTML
and you have to render all unsupported tags by yourself, so I chose
QtWebkit.
