Hello! I’m writing my application in QML, and inside a TextArea formatted with RichText I want to display this:
a header
(an empty line)
another header
my first thought was to go with a <br> tag, but it has a problem: it creates 2 empty lines, don’t know why. so doing this
<h1>hello</h1>
<br>
<h2>world</h2>
produces
hello
(an empty line) (an empty line)
world
I tried using the <pre> tag:
<pre>
</pre>
but no empty lines were displayed
the only working workaround was to use a non breaking space , but being it a TextArea, the user is able to edit the text, and so there would be a “rogue” space instead of an empty line. How can I display just a single line break between two headers (or even paragraphs, but in my case the header is needed)?
If I write some text inside the tags yes, a single line is created, but with the text. I want a blank line, and unfortunately empty tags are apparently stripped out by the textarea

Just a guess, but have you tried
<p></p>?Or a single
ptag with or without a slash after the p? (Lemmy keeps mangling this one when I write it explicitly.)https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/richtext-html-subset.html
This. <p> shpuld do the trick.</p>

What about a non-breaking space?
Edit: I just realized you addressed that in the post.
it’s what I’m currently doing, but was hoping to find a better solution… thank you anyway!
