I see. I would still prefer to leave the html and the css composing up to
whoever has the talent to make content look good. I might be able to find a
way to do that somehow still, but I can't look into it right now.

I would say though, that most freaky css won't work with QTextBrowser. I
think kmail and knode both use that, although I think kmail can optionally
use khtml. I might be wrong on that.

The css attributes supported by QTextBrowser are here:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/richtext-html-subset.html

It supports CSS2.1 selectors, but not pseudo selectors like :before etc.
Just something else that might have to be considered.

Again, QTextBrowser doesn't support javascript. Applications wanting that
would have to either use khtml/webkit or use signals/slots to animate
collapsing when the collapse link is clicked.
