[QGIS-Developer] Save Log messages as pdf

[Roberta Fagandini]

Hi all,
I'm still trying to save a simple text report created by a plugin as a pdf
file. I'm using QTextDocument().setHtml() because I want to set some text
effects (bold, italic, font size, ecc.) but it seems to support only a
subset of HTML. For instance, I tried to add a table border using the
attribute style but it doesn't work.
Do you know any alternatives to QTextDocument().setHtml()? Do you have any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Roberta
