1. You seems to be blocking the event loop, so nothing will get painted on the 
screen. You should not be doing sleep but instead, you should rely on a 
'QTimer' to append the rest of the text.
2. 'setHtml()' resets everything, it doesn't only append things together.
3. 'setHtml()' is usually for html content, "---" is not a valid html tag.
