As long as it is going to be fairly simple, you could use QSimpleRichText (alsuming Qt3). It allows for basic html-like styling and tables. It's kind of picky and the html support isn't well documented (well, there are a number of things that are available though not documented). You can actually set up fairly complicated pages using this process, but it does take some work.
Just something to think about. --Kaleb On Wednesday 01 March 2006 2:49 pm, Fabian Steiner wrote: > Hello! > > I am currently working on an application where the user is able to > create new worksheets and to delete existing ones.
