It is kdelibs which provides the widget (KCharSelect class), so it cannot be directly \
changed in the kcharselect program. Maybe the best option is to provide a virtual \
function in the KCharSelect class which returns an empty string in its default \
implementation. This function's return value is pasted where the LaTeX code is shown \
now (below the XML code, which BTW is irrelevant for Calligra users, too). The \
kcharselect program could have its own class which inherits KCharSelect and \
re-implements this virtual function to return LaTeX codes.

To spin this idea further, KCharSelect could get refactored to have a simple plugin \
architecture, which would load the XML code or LaTeX code implemenation upon the \
user's request ...

About the port to KF5, unfortunately I don't have the resources (time, ...) to \
compile it locally. Maybe someone else could take the step of porting my KDE 4.11+ \
code to KF5.
