KCharsets Class Reference

#include <kcharsets.h>

List of all members.


Detailed Description

Charset font and encoder/decoder handling.

This is needed, because Qt's font matching algorithm gives the font family a higher priority than the charset. For many applications this is not acceptable, since it can totally obscure the output, in languages which use non iso-8859-1 charsets.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KCharsets::KCharsets (  )  [protected]

Protected constructor.

If you need the kcharsets object, use KGlobal::charsets() instead.

KCharsets::~KCharsets (  )  [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

QStringList KCharsets::availableEncodingNames (  ) 

Lists all available encodings as names.

Returns:
the list of all encodings

Definition at line 475 of file kcharsets.cpp.

QTextCodec * KCharsets::codecForName ( const QString n,
bool &  ok 
) const

Tries to find a QTextCodec to convert the given encoding from and to Unicode.

If no codec could be found the latin1 codec will be returned an ok will be set to false.

Returns:
the QTextCodec. If the desired codec could not be found, it returns a default (Latin-1) codec

Definition at line 528 of file kcharsets.cpp.

QTextCodec * KCharsets::codecForName ( const QString name  )  const

Provided for compatibility.

Parameters:
name the name of the codec
Returns:
the QTextCodec. If the desired codec could not be found, it returns a default (Latin-1) codec

Definition at line 522 of file kcharsets.cpp.

QStringList KCharsets::descriptiveEncodingNames (  ) 

Lists the available encoding names together with a more descriptive language.

Returns:
the list of descriptive encoding names

Definition at line 509 of file kcharsets.cpp.

QString KCharsets::encodingForName ( const QString descriptiveName  ) 

Returns the encoding for a string obtained with descriptiveEncodingNames().

Parameters:
descriptiveName the descriptive name for the encoding
Returns:
the name of the encoding

Definition at line 492 of file kcharsets.cpp.

QChar KCharsets::fromEntity ( const QString str,
int &  len 
) [static]

Overloaded member function.

Tries to find an entity in the QString str.

Parameters:
str the string containing entified
len is a return value, that gives the length of the decoded entity.
Returns:
a decoded entity if one could be found, QChar::null otherwise

Definition at line 406 of file kcharsets.cpp.

QChar KCharsets::fromEntity ( const QString str  )  [static]

Converts an entity to a character.

The string must contain only the entity without the trailing ';'.

Parameters:
str the entity
Returns:
QChar::null if the entity could not be decoded.

Definition at line 370 of file kcharsets.cpp.

QString KCharsets::languageForEncoding ( const QString encoding  ) 

Returns the language the encoding is used for.

Parameters:
encoding the encoding for the language
Returns:
the language of the encoding

Definition at line 485 of file kcharsets.cpp.

QString KCharsets::resolveEntities ( const QString text  )  [static]

Scans the given string for entities (like &amp;) and resolves them using fromEntity.

Parameters:
text the string containing the entities
Returns:
the clean string
Since:
3.1

Definition at line 429 of file kcharsets.cpp.

QString KCharsets::toEntity ( const QChar ch  )  [static]

Converts a QChar to an entity.

The returned string does already contain the leading '&' and the trailing ';'.

Parameters:
ch the char to convert
Returns:
the entity
