Detailed Description

IrcTextFormat is used to convert IRC-style formatted messages to either plain text or HTML. When converting to plain text, the IRC-style formatting (colors, bold, underline etc.) are simply stripped away. When converting to HTML, the IRC-style formatting is converted to the corresponding HTML formatting.

QString text = format.toPlainText(message);
format.palette()->setColorName(Irc::Red, "#ff3333");
format.palette()->setColorName(Irc::Green, "#33ff33");
format.palette()->setColorName(Irc::Blue, "#3333ff");
// ...
QString html = format.toHtml(message);

Member Function Documentation

void IrcTextFormat::parse ( const QString text)
slot
Since

Parses text converting it to plain text and HTML and detects URLs.

plainText, html, urls
IrcTextFormat::SpanFormat IrcTextFormat::spanFormat ( ) const
Since
3.1

This property holds the format used for HTML span-elements.

IrcTextFormat uses HTML span-elements for converting the IRC-style text formatting to the corresponding HTML formatting. The SpanStyle format generates self contained span-elements with style-attributes, resulting to HTML that is ready to be used with Qt's rich text classes without additional styling. For more flexible styling, the SpanClass generates span-elements with class-attributes that can be styled with additional style sheets.

The default value is SpanStyle. The following table illustrates the difference between SpanStyle and SpanClass HTML formatting:

IRC format SpanStyle SpanClass
Bold ("\02...\0F") <span style='font-weight: bold'>...</span> <span class='bold'>...</span>
Color ("\03fg...\0F") <span style='color: fg;'>...</span> <span class='fg'>...</span>
Background ("\03fgbg...\0F") <span style='color: fg; background-color: bg'>...</span> <span class='fg bg-background'>...</span>
Italic ("\09...\0F") <span style='font-style: italic'>...</span> <span class='italic'>...</span>
Line-through ("\13...\0F") <span style='text-decoration: line-through'>...</span> <span class='line-through'>...</span>
Underline ("\15...\0F" or "\1F...\0F") <span style='text-decoration: underline'>...</span> <span class='underline'>...</span>
Inverse ("\16...\0F") <span style='text-decoration: inverse'>...</span> <span class='inverse'>...</span>
Access functions:
QString IrcTextFormat::toHtml ( const QString text) const

Converts text to HTML. This function parses the text and replaces IRC-style formatting (colors, bold, underline etc.) to the corresponding HTML formatting. Furthermore, this function detects URLs and replaces them with appropriate HTML hyperlinks.

Note
URL detection can be disabled by setting an empty regular expression pattern used for matching URLs.
