RE: [PyQt] Documentation
This problem seems to be unresolved. Suppose that one downloads the documentation separately, where should it be installed? In other words, where does the Demo documentation expect to find it?

RE: [PyQt] Documentation
Yes, I appreciate that I have access to the online documentation. However I cannot run the tutorial or the examples script: qtdemo.pyw. In fact when I try to run it, I'm presented with a warning message "If you are using the GPL version on PyQt from the binary installer, then you will probably see warning messages about missing documentation." I'd sure like to see that tutorial. Thanks for the response Arve. Peter Sorry, the link should be doc.trolltech.com.

An opportune moment to ask for opinions... When I (eventually) get round to improving the PyQt docs (particularly making the API reference more Pythonic) it will be designed to support (in theory) multiple output styles. In the Roadmap I specifically mention the traditional Qt style and Sphinx (ie. that used for the Python v2.6 documentation). Which of these two styles do people prefer? As long as I can open it in the Qt Assistant, it does not matter. Qt Assistant is several order of magnitudes faster than using Firefox, for browsing documentation. It's unvaluable, for instance, to start typing "setLab" and see all the matches in realtime and quickly find the correct method within whatever class it happens to be inside. -- Giovanni Bajo Develer S.r.l. http://www.develer.com ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

Unfortunately in this case I've no idea of why I experiment very odd things building qthelp docs with sphings.

It applies to the QTextEdit class, but QtAssistant (from 4.4) doesn't use that. It uses QWebView&Co which use Webkit behind the scenes for rendering. So its basically a full HTML browser nowadays.

Great! .. but, just a question, what described in http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/richtext-html-subset.html applies or not to QtAssistant?

Yes, I'll do my best. It would help a lot if you (an all interested readers) could try to $ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/ $ cd sphinx/doc $ make qthelp $ qcollectiongenerator _build/qthelp/Sphinx.qhcp $ assistant -collectionFile _build/qthelp/Sphinx.qhc and tell me what you think about. thanks -- Antonio Valentino ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

I provided the initial patch but still haven't had the time to complete the job (also because I'm not to much familiar with HTML CSS ad such). I also have to point out that the qthelp builder is only available in the development version (presumably it will be included in Sphinx 0.6). In my opinion there is not too much work to do (a custom style-sheet and some tweaks on the template) but if you expect all works out of the box you will get disappointed. regards -- Antonio Valentino ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
Re: [PyQt] Documentation Style (Was: PyQt4 feature request)
Hi, I think the Sphinx style should be prefered. As far as I know (please confirm) Sphinx has the capability to generate Qt Help files (*.qch) as well. If that is true, one could satisfy both parties. Regards, Detlev On Samstag, 7.
