QTextedit set anchor and scroll to it

How can I set an anchor in QTextEdit?

There seems to be a method to scroll to an anchor, but not any method to set actually one.

So I tried this, but it does not work.

mTextEdit->setHtml("some html stuff");
mTextEdit->append("<a href=\"#word\">word</a>");
mTextEdit->scrollToAnchor("word");

Any suggestions?

Solution

  • You have to give the name attribute to your anchor , like this:

    mTextEdit->append("<a name=\"scrollToMe\" href=\"#word\">word</a>");

    and then call the scrollToAnchor function:

    mTextEdit->scrollToAnchor("scrollToMe");
