dict plasma applet

[Thomas Georgiou]

Well, initially we used a qgraphicstextedit with html formatting to
make it look nicer, but we could not have scrolling with that, so when
4.1 came along we switched to qwebview (to get scrolling support).
Then we switched dictionaries to wordnet, and the parsing to html code
has not been rewritten yet, which is why there is {syn: junk} there.
If you can get scrolling and format it with something other than plain
text (and we used to have links as well in 4.0), then go right ahead.
I think you are too late for the feature freeze in 4.2 though, so you
might want to make an svn branch.

Hi. I wonder what was the reasoning behind choosing QWebView over QTextBrowser.

QTextBrowser is lightweight and offers basic layouting support -
everything what qstardict can offer.
If you're not opposing, I'd like to make the switch.
