.SH DESCRIPTION
The QStyleSheetItem class provides an encapsulation of a set of text styles.
.PP
A style sheet item consists of a name and a set of attributes that specifiy its font, color, etc. When used in a style sheet (see styleSheet()), items define the name() of a rich text tag and the display property changes associated with it.
.PP
The display mode attribute indicates whether the item is a block, an inline element or a list element; see setDisplayMode(). The treatment of whitespace is controlled by the white space mode; see setWhiteSpaceMode(). An item's margins are set with setMargin(), and line spacing is set with setLineSpacing(). In the case of list items, the list style is set with setListStyle(). An item may be a hypertext link anchor; see setAnchor(). Other attributes are set with setAlignment(), setVerticalAlignment(), setFontFamily(), setFontSize(), setFontWeight(), setFontItalic(), setFontUnderline() and setColor().
.PP

.SS "Member Type Documentation"
.SH "QStyleSheetItem::DisplayMode"
This enum type defines the way adjacent elements are displayed. The possible values are:
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::DisplayBlock\fR - elements are displayed as a rectangular block (e.g. \fC<p>...</p>\fR).
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::DisplayInline\fR - elements are displayed in a horizontally flowing sequence (e.g. \fC<em>...</em>\fR).
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::DisplayListItem\fR - elements are displayed in a vertical sequence (e.g. \fC<li>...</li>\fR).
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::DisplayNone\fR - elements are not displayed at all.
.SH "QStyleSheetItem::ListStyle"
This enum type defines how the items in a list are prefixed when displayed. The currently defined values are:
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::ListDisc\fR - a filled circle (i.e. a bullet)
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::ListCircle\fR - an unfilled circle
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::ListSquare\fR - a filled square
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::ListDecimal\fR - an integer in base 10: \fI1\fR, \fI2\fR, \fI3\fR, ...
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::ListLowerAlpha\fR - a lowercase letter: \fIa\fR, \fIb\fR, \fIc\fR, ...
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::ListUpperAlpha\fR - an uppercase letter: \fIA\fR, \fIB\fR, \fIC\fR, ...
.SH "QStyleSheetItem::Margin"
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::MarginLeft\fR - left margin
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::MarginRight\fR - right margin
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::MarginTop\fR - top margin
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::MarginBottom\fR - bottom margin
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::MarginAll\fR - all margins (left, right, top and bottom)
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::MarginVertical\fR - top and bottom margins
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::MarginHorizontal\fR - left and right margins
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::MarginFirstLine\fR - margin (indentation) of the first line of a paragarph (in addition to the MarginLeft of the paragraph)
.SH "QStyleSheetItem::VerticalAlignment"
This enum type defines the way elements are aligned vertically. This is supported for text elements only. The possible values are:
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::VAlignBaseline\fR - align the baseline of the element (or the bottom, if the element doesn't have a baseline) with the baseline of the parent
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::VAlignSub\fR - subscript the element
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::VAlignSuper\fR - superscript the element
.SH "QStyleSheetItem::WhiteSpaceMode"
This enum defines the ways in which QStyleSheet can treat whitespace. There are three values at present:
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::WhiteSpaceNormal\fR - any sequence of whitespace (including line-breaks) is equivalent to a single space.
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::WhiteSpacePre\fR - whitespace must be output exactly as given in the input.
.TP
\fCQStyleSheetItem::WhiteSpaceNoWrap\fR - multiple spaces are collapsed as with WhiteSpaceNormal, but no automatic line-breaks occur. To break lines manually, use the \fC<br>\fR tag.
.PP
.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
.SH "QStyleSheetItem::QStyleSheetItem ( QStyleSheet * parent, const QString & name )"
Constructs a new style named \fIname\fR for the stylesheet \fIparent\fR.
.PP
All properties in QStyleSheetItem are initially in the "do not change" state, except display mode, which defaults to DisplayInline.
.SH "QStyleSheetItem::QStyleSheetItem ( const QStyleSheetItem & other )"
Copy constructor. Constructs a copy of \fIother\fR that is not bound to any style sheet.
.SH "QStyleSheetItem::~QStyleSheetItem ()"
Destroys the style. Note that QStyleSheetItem objects become owned by QStyleSheet when they are created.
.SH "int QStyleSheetItem::alignment () const"
Returns the alignment of this style. Possible values are AlignAuto, AlignLeft, AlignRight, AlignCenter and AlignJustify.
.PP
See also setAlignment() and Qt::AlignmentFlags.
.SH "bool QStyleSheetItem::allowedInContext ( const QStyleSheetItem * s ) const"
Returns TRUE if this style can be nested into an element of style \fIs\fR; otherwise returns FALSE.
.PP
See also contexts() and setContexts().
.SH "QColor QStyleSheetItem::color () const"
Returns the text color of this style or an invalid color if no color has been set.
.PP
See also setColor() and QColor::isValid().
.SH "QString QStyleSheetItem::contexts () const"
Returns a space-separated list of names of styles that may contain elements of this style. If nothing has been set, contexts() returns an empty string, which indicates that this style can be nested everywhere.
.PP
See also setContexts().
.SH "bool QStyleSheetItem::definesFontItalic () const"
Returns whether the style defines a font shape. A style does not define any shape until setFontItalic() is called.
.PP
See also setFontItalic() and fontItalic().
.SH "bool QStyleSheetItem::definesFontUnderline () const"
Returns whether the style defines a setting for the underline property of the font. A style does not define this until setFontUnderline() is called.
.PP
See also setFontUnderline() and fontUnderline().
.SH "DisplayMode QStyleSheetItem::displayMode () const"
Returns the display mode of the style.
.PP
See also setDisplayMode().

\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

.PP
See also numberOfColumns().
.SH "void QStyleSheetItem::setSelfNesting ( bool nesting )"
Sets the self-nesting property for this style to \fInesting\fR.
.PP
In order to support "dirty" HTML, paragraphs \fC<p>\fR and list items \fC<li>\fR are not self-nesting. This means that starting a new paragraph or list item automatically closes the previous one.
.PP
See also selfNesting().
.SH "void QStyleSheetItem::setVerticalAlignment ( VerticalAlignment valign )"
Sets the vertical alignment to \fIvalign\fR. Possible values are VAlignBaseline, VAlignSub and VAlignSuper.
