Good suggestion, Ferenc. Only one small addition: you could (and should) still 
use a QPlainTextEdit for that. It has a method QPlainTextEdit::appendHtml().

Won't do tables and some of the more advanced stuff properly, but colors and 
fonts should work just fine. And it's faster for longer documents.
