But the choice is > yours. I've thrown a QTextEdit based rich text editor out there for people to look at. I was quite pleased with the way the free_layout system was able to swap out the body pane for the alternative widget, no changes needed. The body pane is just moved into a tab in the tab pane, which is what free_layout has always done with essential widgets when they have no pane of their own. The QWebKit / ckeditor idea could be a simple route to a full featured editor, it just seems a bit heavy to essentially run an embedded virtual machine (javascript) for this when QTextEdit is a rich text editor, just one without a GUI of controls available. It still surprises me there isn't one out there. But it seems the current interest in rich text is mainly for minimal bold / strikeout kind of stuff, such that the controls needed to get there in QTextEdit are trivial. The work I've just done was at least 50% on managing the alternate editor, so that would be applicable to the QWebKit / ckeditor approach too.
