Change Details

HTML rendering aside this seems to work as well as the QtWebKit-based mode. Links to different QtHelp sections don't work in either mode (e.g. the link to the QMake docs in the QtCore "Getting Started" section). I think that's simply a limitation of the QtHelp plugin design. If this is considered of interest I'd probably appreciate a more collaborative approach on this one, supposing it still needs a lot of work.

HTML rendering aside this seems to work as well as the QtWebKit-based mode. Links to different QtHelp sections (.qhc files) don't work in either mode (e.g. the link to the QMake docs in the QtCore "Getting Started" section). I think that's simply a limitation of the QtHelp plugin design. Testing has been done on Mac and Linux, with all 3 rendering backends. Backend comparison (QWK and QWE behaviour isn't modified by this patch): - QWK: links aren't followed; the contextmenu "Copy" action copies the link text, not the link address. - QWE: links are followed, contextmenu idem QWK. Tested on Mac only, where I get continuous errors that suggest inappropriate cross-thread calling, warnings about rejected JavaScript resources and a systematic crash on exit (also without this patch). - QTB: links work except across .qch files; links can be copied to the clipboard. "Lean and mean"; the QtHelp plugin is prewired to support opening links in an external full-fledged doc browser.
