Detailed Description

The QTextCharFormat class provides formatting information for characters in a QTextDocument.

The character format of text in a document specifies the visual properties of the text, as well as information about its role in a hypertext document.

The font used can be set by supplying a font to the setFont function, and each aspect of its appearance can be adjusted to give the desired effect. setFontFamily and setFontPointSize define the font's family (e.g. Times) and printed size; setFontWeight and setFontItalic provide control over the style of the font. setFontUnderline, setFontOverline, setFontStrikeOut, and setFontFixedPitch provide additional effects for text.

The color is set with setForeground. If the text is intended to be used as an anchor (for hyperlinks), this can be enabled with setAnchor. The setAnchorHref and setAnchorNames functions are used to specify the information about the hyperlink's destination and the anchor's name.
