[Qgis-developer] Context help styling

Sun Apr 21 12:28:05 PDT 2013

Hi

I'm wanting to tidy up some context help, and can't quite figure out where some of the styling is coming from, and where would be a good place to put styling information if I wanted to.  It looks like it comes from the code

    QString myStyle = QgsApplication::reportStyleSheet();
    helpContents = "<head><style>" + myStyle + "</style></head><body>" + helpContents + "</body>";
    webView->setHtml( helpContents );

The reportStyleSheet() function returns CSS styling for h1 to h5 header levels, but not much else.  I replicated this into an external CSS file, and wrote a little python script to display the help text in a QWebView.

But it doesn't come out quite the same.  For example the spacing in a <pre> </pre> block is different.

So I'm wondering if there is some more styling coming from somewhere I've missed, and that I could maybe use?  And if I did want to have some styles for spans or paragraphs (eg for code), where should I put them

Thanks
Chris

eg
Python script

#!/usr/bin/python
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtWebKit import *

with open('context.css') as fcss:
    css=fcss.read()
with open('QgsDelimitedTextSourceSelect-en_US') as fhtml:
    content=fhtml.read()

html = '<head><style type="text/css">'+css+'</style></head><body>'+content
+'</body>'

app=QApplication([])
main = QWebView()
main.pageAction(QWebPage.Reload).triggered.connect(reload)
main.setHtml(html)
main.show()
app.exec_()

CSS from QgsApplication
