I don't think you will loose the format tags. They are simply ASCII
characters ('<', '>', '\'). The interpretation of them as rich text tags
takes place later, when the text is to be drawn on the screen. So it should
be fine to use toUtf8() if necessary.

Generally, if you read a UTF-8 string into a QString object str, str.toUtf8()
should in (nearly) every case return the original UTF-8 string. There are
only some unimportant special cases, when you store ASCII characters as 2
byte (which usually doesn't make sense).

Bye,
Burkhard
