There is a Qt/C++ code:
#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
#include <QtGui/QTextDocument>
#include <QByteArray>
#include <QDebug>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
QTextDocument *doc = new QTextDocument();
qDebug() << " === Document was: === ";
qDebug() << doc->toHtml(QByteArray());
doc->setHtml("<p>THIS IS SPARTA</p>");
qDebug() << " === Document now: === ";
qDebug() << doc->toHtml(QByteArray());
return a.exec();
}
It outputs:
=== Document was: ===
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">
<html><head><meta name="qrichtext" content="1" /><style type="text/css">
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
</style></head><body style=" font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:12pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal;">
<table style="-qt-table-type: root; margin-top:4px; margin-bottom:4px; margin-left:4px; margin-right:4px;">
<tr>
<td style="border: none;">
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"></p></td></tr></table></body></html>"
=== Document now: ===
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">
<html><head><meta name="qrichtext" content="1" /><style type="text/css">
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
</style></head><body style=" font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:12pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal;">
<table style="-qt-table-type: root; margin-top:4px; margin-bottom:4px; margin-left:4px; margin-right:4px;">
<tr>
<td style="border: none;">
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">THIS IS SPARTA</p></td></tr></table></body></html>"
As I can see, there is something like default CSS in QTextDocument:
<style type="text/css">p, li {white-space: pre-wrap;}</style>
But, when I'm setting HTML with p tag and multiple whitespaces, it removes whitespaces. The question is - why? Another question is - why is it adding margins to p tag?
PS It works fine if I add a line
doc->setDefaultStyleSheet("p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }");
before doing setHtml - it doesn't remove multiple whitespaces. But what is this style-tag then? Isn't it a default style sheet? Why Qt ignores it?
Thanks for the answer.
