[Qt-interest] Retrieving QTextCharFormat a QSyntaxHighlighter sets

[Wilhelm]

Hi all,

a QSyntaxHighlighter uses QTextLayout::setAddtionalFormats() to format
the text.

I tried to read back this format-information from the text-blocks, e.g.:

   QList<QTextLayout::FormatRange> list;
    for(QTextBlock::iterator it = block.begin(); it != block.end(); ++it) {
	QTextFragment fragment = it.fragment();
	if (fragment.isValid()) {
	    QTextLayout::FormatRange fr;
	    fr.format = fragment.charFormat();
	    fr.start = fragment.position() - currentBlock().position();
	    fr.length = fragment.length();
	    list.append(fr);
	    qDebug() << fr.start << fr.length << fr.format.foreground();
	}
    }

but with no luck. If the highlighter sets e.g. the foreground to a
special color, I can't read that back.

What's wrong?
