I've been wondering since a while how hard this would be - most platforms support embedding a browser in some way (see also Qt WebView). The obvious obstacle is that Qt Help / Qt Assistant right now serves the .html in memory, out of the .qch file. But we might as well just extract the .html as files, and work from there...

But improving Assistant need not imply changing QtWidgets. There are two solutions for this: 1) make qttools depend on qtwebengine 2) make Assistant load a plugin that is provided by qtwebengine (and qtwebkit) -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
