First... thank you Nyall to rise up the argument. second... I had to plugin heavely using QWebKit... but basing on this: https://wiki.qt.io/Porting_from_QtWebKit_to_QtWebEngine It wouldn't be a problem get rid of webkit and use directly webengine. The use of QTextBrowser is not an option for that plugins.
I didn't dig into QWebEngine rendering limitations, so I don't have opinions about this. cheers Luigi Pirelli ************************************************************************************************** * Boundless QGIS Support/Development: lpirelli AT boundlessgeo DOT com * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigipirelli * Stackexchange: http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/19667/luigi-pirelli * GitHub: https://github.com/luipir * Mastering QGIS: https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/mastering-qgis ************************************************************************************************** On 14 September 2016 at 09:48, Nyall Dawson <[email protected]> wrote: > On 14 September 2016 at 17:37, Sebastiaan Couwenberg <[email protected]> > wrote: >> On 09/14/2016 09:23 AM, Matthias Kuhn wrote: >>> On 09/14/2016 09:13 AM, Sebastiaan Couwenberg wrote: >>>> On 09/14/2016 09:02 AM, Matthias Kuhn wrote: >>>>> On 09/14/2016 08:46 AM, Sebastiaan Couwenberg wrote: >>>>>> On 09/14/2016 08:26 AM, Matthias Kuhn wrote: >>>>>>> QtWebKit is not removed, is it? >>>>>> >>>>>> Not yet, but will be (in Debian) since there is no more upstream >>>>>> security support for WebKit in Qt4 now that it's EOL.
