Hello!

There is a problem with displaying information about the placemark. I wrote this code:

Code: Select all

QString text = "string 1, \n";
text += "string 2, \n";
text += "string 3, \n";
text += "string 4, \n";
text += "string 5. \n";

qDebug() << "text =" << text;

GeoDataPlacemark* place = new GeoDataPlacemark;
place->setDescription(text);


Using qDebug() the text displaying correctly:

text = "string 1,
string 2,
string 3,
string 4,
string 5.
"

But in the placemark description it looks like this:


How to make line breaks in the description?

Thanks in advance for your help.

That looks indeed like a bug to me - could you file a bug report (or maybe even a patch) ?

Thanks for your answer! I have filed a bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360918

Hello!
I seem to have solved the problem. The placemark description is displayed using HTML. To preserve the original text formatting should be added the tags <pre> and </pre>. That is, in my example:

Code: Select all

QString text = "<pre>";     //added tag <pre>
text += "string 1, \n";
text += "string 2, \n";
text += "string 3, \n";
text += "string 4, \n";
text += "string 5. \n";
text += "</pre>";             //added tag </pre>

qDebug() << "text =" << text;

GeoDataPlacemark* place = new GeoDataPlacemark;
place->setDescription(text);


Then the text is displayed as I wanted:



Probably wise to make the correction in the marble?

Ah, sorry. No idea what mislead me into assuming that using \n here would work.

The description in the popup is indeed supposed to be done in Rich text / HTML.

Sorry, for the confusion
