I think that's all a text viewer should be able to do, right? :)
But what else can a HTML widget give us?
Ah, perhaps hyperlink capability?  Yes, this sounds interesting IMHO...
OTOH this would be slower than QMultiLineEdit: Converting a whole text
into readable HTML, parse for links, HTML parsing time (although khtml
seems to be very fast) .
What do you think? Other advantages by using a HTML widget?
Use it as optional feature perhaps?
