    Description

      quoting a user:

      Up to Qt 4.5, a simple formatted text with 10 and 12pt text I would get HTML code like this one:

              <source>&lt;h3&gt;QHiMDTransfer, Version 0.0.1&lt;/h3&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;A free music transfer software for MiniDisc walkman.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

      Now, using Qt Creator from Qt 4.6.2 (1.3.1) to edit and display the same text would result in a far more complex HTML code:

      <source>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN&quot; &quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd&quot;&gt;
&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;meta name=&quot;qrichtext&quot; content=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;style type=&quot;text/css&quot;&gt;
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
&lt;/style&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body style=&quot; font-family:&apos;Sans&apos;; font-size:10pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot; margin-top:14px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot; font-size:large; font-weight:600;&quot;&gt;QHiMDTransfer, Version 0.0.1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

      Since Qt Linguist does not render the HTML but displays the raw source code, translators which not necessarily have in-depth HTML knowledge face the problem having to deal with that raw and really complex HTML code. Even for people with HTML knowledge, editing the text for translation is very tedious.
