Can somebody tell me where in Qt gui can I use HTML?
Which widgets do support HTML?
Or more specific: why HTML doesn't work in QTreeWidgetItem and QTreeListItem?
I'm trying to make some of the text in QTreeWidgetItem italic or different colour and I can't do it with HTML, it is not interpreted at all, I just see HTML code in tree items.
In QLabel HTML works fine...
I did some research and documentation: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.5/richtext-html-subset.html says that QTreeWidgetItem should support that too...
OK, after some research I've found a way to see HTML in items-widgets - you have to add custom delegate to it (and handle the HTML in that delegate).
Found it in "Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt" book :-)

I have taken over some software which produces a html document with no structure.
The HTML in it self is good enough. Well enclosed and nested and what not but it is almost impossible to read with the human eye as the linebreaks are how the tekst editor, used to view the document, pleases.
So, my question is as follows.
Does any of you know a online parser or program that allows the showing of a messy, more or less minified html document, to show a human readable document? Preferablly also indenting he various tags to show nested levels of the tags
Thanks in advance
Try this maybe (just picked the first link for a 'html online tidy' google search). http://infohound.net/tidy/
Try this.
It is online and it is free.
Almost any HTML editor will have this capability. For instance: HTMLKit
The JS Beautifier also works with HTML: http://jsbeautifier.org/
There are other, similar tools available online if you search.
I was wondering how to create Code Editor Style in html page like this one.
http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/databaseobjects.html
He has different colors for different variables and strings. He used <pre> and <span> to style but I am not sure if there are faster ways to do this. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot.
I haven't used it myself, but Stackoverflow uses Prettify (according to this question). It seems to have been built with only JavaScript and CSS.
I'm searching for a "suck less" WYSIWYG in-browser X?HTML editor that generates good HTML code.
(no <font>, <foo style="...">, <p></p><span></span><p><span> </span><span><span>blah</span></<span></p> and so on -- <b> and <i> etc is ok).
Should be easy-to-use as it is going to be used by people that do not know what HTML is.
Any suggestions?
Extra points for Copy-and-Paste-from-Word-readiness! :-)
(I found a lot of editors but they all create that <font> and nested <span> crap that breaks site design and bloats a site with one table up to 100kB.)
Download the current version of CKEditor and look at the XHTML output sample. It shows how to use full WYSIWYG but it doesn't generates font or styles. You just need to adjust the configuration to your needs.
What about WYMEditor?
WYMeditor has been created to generate perfectly structured XHTML strict code, to conform to the W3C XHTML specifications and to facilitate further processing by modern applications.
With WYMeditor, the code can't be contaminated by visual informations like font styles and weights, borders, colors, ... The end-user defines content meaning, which will determine its aspect by the use of style sheets. The result is easy and quick maintenance of information.
I've used it a little and while it takes quite a bit of tweaking if you have very specific needs, it does work out of the box for simple XHTML editing. If you set up specially annotated CSS files then it will detect the styles you want users to use and block level elements to which they apply. You can also tell it how to display these styles in the editor (which might be different from how you want them displayed in the resulting XHTML).
Of course, it generates XHTML, not HTML, so it may not meet your exact needs.
Wikipedia has a category for them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:JavaScript-based_HTML_editors
You can use Markdown with the WMD UI, it's the one used by Stack Overflow. It always produces valid HTML code.
I just recently searched for an editor to create solid documentation, whose output is suitable for Subversion diffs: https://superuser.com/questions/126621/wysiwyg-editor-for-structured-text-suitable-for-svn-versioning
The editor that was suggested - "KompoZer" - turned out to be fantastic, especially because it generates very clean HTML (in my opinion). And I say that, although I had originally preferred something leaner than HTML.
P.S. Reading your question again, I'm not sure, what you mean with a "browser editor" - are you looking for an editor that can be integrated in an HTML page? KompoZer is based on a browser, but it can probably not be integrated in an HTML page.
I recently switched one of my projects to markdown to avoid this exact issue. There's still a bit of a learning curve for the users but I haven't had to deal with the usual issues that occur when they copy/paste content from Word and wonder why it blew up.
Having said that, I prefer CKEditor over TinyMCE and the Telerik controls. I've generally found it generates somewhat cleaner HTML.
There are several WYSIWG editors for embedding within your website out there.
WYMeditor (http://www.wymeditor.org/) looks very nice and seems to be a good fit for targetting clean and valid XHTML results.
Spaw2. Although it's kinda abandoned now.
The Apple Cocoa NSTextView class exports quite nice html, where all the fiddling is done through specifying a style sheet in the header. The Apple TextEdit editor uses this.
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ - easy to use, can import form Word, and restrict formatting to predefined CSS styles, to provide consistent output.
This post is 8+ years old now but still relevant...
I found an awesome github page with a curated list of WYSIWYG editors, including a few WYSIWYM ones which guarantee sane html. As of 2018, the most current and best WYSIWYM one looks like ProseMirror, or maybe ORY Editor if you're looking for something to edit entire webpages(!) in one textfield.
I've inherited some rather large static HTML files that need to be fixed up to work in webkit-based browsers, Safari in particular. One of the common bugs I've found that cause rendering differences is missing </div> tags. (Both IE7+ and FF3+ seem to ignore these, or make good guesses as to where to close the DIVs, and render as expected.) I'm used to using vim with HTML syntax highlighting for editing, but end up writing awk scripts to match starting and ending tags.
What is your favorite tool or technique for matching start and end tags in a large HTML file?
UPDATE: I'm currently in a shop that targets HTML 4.01 Strict, not XHTML.
The W3C HTML Validator works fairly well, or if you want something a little simpler then the Tidy FireFox plugin also works.
The w3c Validator can be (extremely) verbose, but it does check for missing closing tags.
HTML Tidy is a great command line tool. I often use it with WGet
Most IDE's usually let you know via highlighting, fuzzy-underline or a warning.
Div Checker is a great tool that focuses on div tags specifically.
While other tools were only able to tell me that "some tag was missing somewhere".
Div-Checker removes other tags, code, and most comments, to create a clean visual structure of just the divs themselves.
From this div map, it's fairly easy to see if nested divs are correctly paired !
I was able to locate a missing div left out by a wordpress theme developer, with the help of this tool.
Here is the Posted Answer from #noah-whitmore that enlightened me to this awesome tool.
There are a couple other useful tools mentioned in that thread as well, such as unclosed-tag-finder (visually not so easy to read, but helpful if your missing tag is not a div).
vim/gvim & NetBeans both do a great job of tag matching
What is your favorite tool or technique for matching start and end tags in a large HTML file?
A text editor with a built-in XML well-formedness checker, combined with using XHTML for everything.
Sublime Text with the Tag plugin has a Tag Lint feature which which aims to check correctness of opened and closed tags.
Is there a firefox plugin or something similar I can use to validate that my html output has properly closed tags?
You can use either the W3 HTML Validator or HTML Tidy online.
If all you want to check is whether or not your tags are nested and closed properly (and not other things like that all images have an alt, etc), then you just want to check the XML well-formedness of it.
Run it through this validator http://www.validome.org/xml/ and tick the "Well-Formedness Only" checkbox.
I use this little guy Html Validator. I like him. The errors it makes help you find your nesting problems (along with others). I don't know of a validator that only checks for nesting issues.
The best is to install web developer tabs:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60
There you can find the link for validator and many other things.
I've been using the web developer addon for a long time.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60
It's got an HTML validator link in the tools menu.
