Problem with set[Left|Right|Top|Bottom]Margin for QTextBlock in QTextEdit/QPlainTextEdit

Question

how can i set different margins for each QTextBlock in QTextEdit/QPlainTextEdit?

i tried to set it with following code:

class MyWidget(QPlainTextEdit):

    def func(self):
        block = self.firstVisibleBlock()
        while block.isValid():
            block = block.next()
            block.blockFormat().setLeftMargin(<some_value>)

but it's not working

Thanks

Margin means what? you mean width? or what?

Try exploring the docs: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qtextblockformat.html If you have your QTextBlock, then you could use something like this:

QTextBlock *block = ...;
block->blockFormat()->set[Left|Right|Top|Bottom]Margin(qreal margin);

Please let us know if it works, as I have not tried this code.

Any refs to back that up? It would explain a lot, but would be nice to have this documented somewhere ...

@Almar The closest statement I could find is this, with the quote from the Qt docs coming from here.
