Detailed Description

The Q3StyleSheetItem class provides an encapsulation of a set of text styles.

A style sheet item consists of a name and a set of attributes that specify its font, color, etc. When used in a style sheet (see styleSheet()), items define the name() of a rich text tag and the display property changes associated with it.

The display mode attribute indicates whether the item is a block, an inline element or a list element; see setDisplayMode(). The treatment of whitespace is controlled by the white space mode; see setWhiteSpaceMode(). An item's margins are set with setMargin(), In the case of list items, the list style is set with setListStyle(). An item may be a hypertext link anchor; see setAnchor(). Other attributes are set with setAlignment(), setVerticalAlignment(), setFontFamily(), setFontSize(), setFontWeight(), setFontItalic(), setFontUnderline(), setFontStrikeOut and setColor().

Member Function Documentation

Q3StyleSheetItem::Q3StyleSheetItem ( Q3StyleSheet * parent, const QString & name )

Constructs a new style called name for the stylesheet parent.

All properties in Q3StyleSheetItem are initially in the "do not change" state, except display mode, which defaults to DisplayInline.

Q3StyleSheetItem::Q3StyleSheetItem ( const Q3StyleSheetItem & other )

Copy constructor. Constructs a copy of other that is not bound to any style sheet.

Q3StyleSheetItem::~Q3StyleSheetItem ()

Destroys the style. Note that Q3StyleSheetItem objects become owned by Q3StyleSheet when they are created.

int Q3StyleSheetItem::alignment () const

Returns the alignment of this style. Possible values are Qt::AlignAuto, Qt::AlignLeft, Qt::AlignRight, Qt::AlignCenter or Qt::AlignJustify.

See also setAlignment() and Qt::Alignment.

bool Q3StyleSheetItem::allowedInContext ( const Q3StyleSheetItem * s ) const

Returns true if this style can be nested into an element of style s; otherwise returns false.

See also contexts() and setContexts().

QColor Q3StyleSheetItem::color () const

Returns the text color of this style or an invalid color if no color has been set.

See also setColor() and QColor::isValid().

QString Q3StyleSheetItem::contexts () const

Returns a space-separated list of names of styles that may contain elements of this style. If nothing has been set, contexts() returns an empty string, which indicates that this style can be nested everywhere.

See also setContexts().

bool Q3StyleSheetItem::definesFontItalic () const

Returns true if the style defines a font shape; otherwise returns false. A style does not define any shape until setFontItalic() is called.

See also setFontItalic() and fontItalic().

bool Q3StyleSheetItem::definesFontStrikeOut () const

Returns true if the style defines a setting for the strikeOut property of the font; otherwise returns false. A style does not define this until setFontStrikeOut() is called.

See also setFontStrikeOut() and fontStrikeOut().

bool Q3StyleSheetItem::definesFontUnderline () const

Returns true if the style defines a setting for the underline property of the font; otherwise returns false. A style does not define this until setFontUnderline() is called.

See also setFontUnderline() and fontUnderline().

DisplayMode Q3StyleSheetItem::displayMode () const

bool Q3StyleSheetItem::fontItalic () const

Returns true if the style sets an italic font; otherwise returns false.

See also setFontItalic() and definesFontItalic().

int Q3StyleSheetItem::fontSize () const

Returns the font size setting of the style. This is either a valid point size or Q3StyleSheetItem::Undefined.

See also setFontSize(), QFont::pointSize(), and QFont::setPointSize().

int Q3StyleSheetItem::logicalFontSize () const

Returns the logical font size setting of the style. This is either a valid size between 1 and 7 or Q3StyleSheetItem::Undefined.

See also setLogicalFontSize(), setLogicalFontSizeStep(), QFont::pointSize(), and QFont::setPointSize().

int Q3StyleSheetItem::logicalFontSizeStep () const

Returns the logical font size step of this style.

The default is 0. Tags such as big define +1; small defines -1.

See also setLogicalFontSizeStep().

int Q3StyleSheetItem::margin ( Margin m ) const

Returns the width of margin m in pixels.

The margin, m, can be MarginLeft, MarginRight, MarginTop, MarginBottom, or MarginFirstLine

See also setMargin() and Margin.

QString Q3StyleSheetItem::name () const

Returns the name of the style item.

int Q3StyleSheetItem::numberOfColumns () const

Returns the number of columns for this style.

See also setNumberOfColumns(), displayMode(), and setDisplayMode().

bool Q3StyleSheetItem::selfNesting () const

Returns true if this style has self-nesting enabled; otherwise returns false.

See also setSelfNesting().

void Q3StyleSheetItem::setAlignment ( int f )

Sets the alignment to f. This only makes sense for styles with a display mode of DisplayBlock. Possible values are Qt::AlignAuto, Qt::AlignLeft, Qt::AlignRight, Qt::AlignCenter or Qt::AlignJustify.

See also alignment(), displayMode(), and Qt::Alignment.

void Q3StyleSheetItem::setAnchor ( bool anc )

If anc is true, sets this style to be an anchor (hypertext link); otherwise sets it to not be an anchor. Elements in this style link to other documents or anchors.

See also isAnchor().

void Q3StyleSheetItem::setColor ( const QColor & c )

Sets the text color of this style to c.

This is used by nested elements that have a display mode of DisplayListItem.

See also listStyle(), DisplayMode, and ListStyle.

void Q3StyleSheetItem::setLogicalFontSize ( int s )

Sets the logical font size setting of the style to s. Valid logical sizes are 1 to 7.

See also logicalFontSize(), QFont::pointSize(), and QFont::setPointSize().
