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)?
The mismatch between rich text and html has been a pain for pretty much ever.
Have you tried putting the br on the line above instead of on its own? Barring that can you assign a css class and just create the vertical separation you want?
thanks for your reply! I tried, and nothing changed at all. I need to create a single editable line between the two headers, so just a spacer wouldn’t be enough. I didn’t think this would be so painful
