QTextBlockFormat Class

Member Function Documentation

QTextBlockFormat::QTextBlockFormat()

Constructs a new QTextBlockFormat.

Qt::Alignment QTextBlockFormat::alignment() const

Returns the paragraph's alignment.

See also setAlignment().

qreal QTextBlockFormat::bottomMargin() const

Returns the paragraph's bottom margin.

See also setBottomMargin() and topMargin().

int QTextBlockFormat::headingLevel() const

Returns the paragraph's heading level if it is a heading, or 0 if not.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.12.

See also setHeadingLevel().

int QTextBlockFormat::indent() const

Returns the paragraph's indent.

See also setIndent().

bool QTextBlockFormat::isValid() const

Returns true if this block format is valid; otherwise returns false.

qreal QTextBlockFormat::leftMargin() const

Returns the paragraph's left margin.

See also setLeftMargin(), rightMargin(), and indent().

qreal QTextBlockFormat::lineHeight(qreal scriptLineHeight, qreal scaling = 1.0) const

Returns the height of the lines in the paragraph based on the height of the script line given by scriptLineHeight and the specified scaling factor.

The value that is returned is also dependent on the given LineHeightType of the paragraph as well as the LineHeight setting that has been set for the paragraph.

The scaling is needed for heights that include a fixed number of pixels, to scale them appropriately for printing.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

See also LineHeightTypes, setLineHeight(), and lineHeightType().

qreal QTextBlockFormat::lineHeight() const

This returns the LineHeight property for the paragraph.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

See also LineHeightTypes, setLineHeight(), and lineHeightType().

int QTextBlockFormat::lineHeightType() const

This returns the LineHeightType property of the paragraph.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

See also LineHeightTypes, setLineHeight(), and lineHeight().

QTextBlockFormat::MarkerType QTextBlockFormat::marker() const

Returns the paragraph's marker if one has been set, or NoMarker if not.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

See also setMarker().

bool QTextBlockFormat::nonBreakableLines() const

Returns true if the lines in the paragraph are non-breakable; otherwise returns false.

See also setNonBreakableLines().

QTextFormat::PageBreakFlags QTextBlockFormat::pageBreakPolicy() const

Returns the currently set page break policy for the paragraph. The default is QTextFormat::PageBreak_Auto.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also setPageBreakPolicy().

qreal QTextBlockFormat::rightMargin() const

Returns the paragraph's right margin.

See also setRightMargin() and leftMargin().

void QTextBlockFormat::setAlignment(Qt::Alignment alignment)

Sets the paragraph's alignment.

See also alignment().

void QTextBlockFormat::setBottomMargin(qreal margin)

Sets the paragraph's bottom margin.

See also bottomMargin(), setTopMargin(), setLeftMargin(), and setRightMargin().

void QTextBlockFormat::setHeadingLevel(int level)

Sets the paragraph's heading level, where 1 is the highest-level heading type (usually with the largest possible heading font size), and increasing values are progressively deeper into the document (and usually with smaller font sizes). For example when reading an HTML H1 tag, the heading level is set to 1. Setting the heading level does not automatically change the font size; however QTextDocumentFragment::fromHtml() sets both the heading level and the font size simultaneously.

If the paragraph is not a heading, the level should be set to 0 (the default).

This function was introduced in Qt 5.12.

See also headingLevel().

void QTextBlockFormat::setIndent(int indentation)

Sets the paragraph's indentation. Margins are set independently of indentation with setLeftMargin() and setTextIndent(). The indentation is an integer that is multiplied with the document-wide standard indent, resulting in the actual indent of the paragraph.

See also indent() and QTextDocument::indentWidth().

void QTextBlockFormat::setLeftMargin(qreal margin)

Sets the paragraph's left margin. Indentation can be applied separately with setIndent().

See also leftMargin(), setRightMargin(), setTopMargin(), and setBottomMargin().

void QTextBlockFormat::setLineHeight(qreal height, int heightType)

Sets the line height for the paragraph to the value given by height which is dependent on heightType in the way described by the LineHeightTypes enum.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

See also LineHeightTypes, lineHeight(), and lineHeightType().

void QTextBlockFormat::setMarker(QTextBlockFormat::MarkerType marker)

Sets the type of adornment that should be rendered alongside the paragraph to marker. For example, a list item can be adorned with a checkbox, either checked or unchecked, as a replacement for its bullet. The default is NoMarker.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

See also marker().

void QTextBlockFormat::setNonBreakableLines(bool b)

If b is true, the lines in the paragraph are treated as non-breakable; otherwise they are breakable.

See also nonBreakableLines().

void QTextBlockFormat::setPageBreakPolicy(QTextFormat::PageBreakFlags policy)

Sets the page break policy for the paragraph to policy.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also pageBreakPolicy().

void QTextBlockFormat::setRightMargin(qreal margin)

Sets the paragraph's right margin.

See also rightMargin(), setLeftMargin(), setTopMargin(), and setBottomMargin().

void QTextBlockFormat::setTabPositions(const QList<QTextOption::Tab> &tabs)

Sets the tab positions for the text block to those specified by tabs.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also tabPositions().

void QTextBlockFormat::setTextIndent(qreal indent)

Sets the indent for the first line in the block. This allows the first line of a paragraph to be indented differently to the other lines, enhancing the readability of the text.

See also textIndent(), setLeftMargin(), setRightMargin(), setTopMargin(), and setBottomMargin().

void QTextBlockFormat::setTopMargin(qreal margin)

Sets the paragraph's top margin.

See also topMargin(), setBottomMargin(), setLeftMargin(), and setRightMargin().

QList<QTextOption::Tab> QTextBlockFormat::tabPositions() const

Returns a list of tab positions defined for the text block.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also setTabPositions().

qreal QTextBlockFormat::textIndent() const

Returns the paragraph's text indent.

See also setTextIndent().

qreal QTextBlockFormat::topMargin() const

Returns the paragraph's top margin.

See also setTopMargin() and bottomMargin().
