[Qgis-developer] QGIS maptips and HTML-display

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey all,

It's just added the ability to use html (well Qt html subset anyway)
to the map tips.  Anything that is listed here on the Qt rich text
page is supported[0].

In order to support this I added a new tab in the vector layer
properties dialog called display which we can then use for adding
better (full) html support later.
