Hello! I’m writing my application in QML, and inside a TextArea formatted with RichText I want to display this:
a header
(an empty line)
another header
my first thought was to go with a <br>
tag, but it has a problem: it creates 2 empty lines, don’t know why. so doing this
<h1>hello</h1>
<br>
<h2>world</h2>
produces
hello
(an empty line)
(an empty line)world
I tried using the <pre>
tag:
<pre>
</pre>
but no empty lines were displayed
the only working workaround was to use a non breaking space
, but being it a TextArea, the user is able to edit the text, and so there would be a “rogue” space instead of an empty line. How can I display just a single line break between two headers (or even paragraphs, but in my case the header is needed)?
replying to @ono@lemmy.ca as the direct reply loops forever:
thanks for the answer! I already tried an empty paragraph
<p></p>
but it gets stripped out by the textarea as soon as I assign it to thetext
property: if I print the text right after it has been modified, the empty paragraph is gone. the same goes for `` or<[/]p>
