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.

Definition at line 366 of file kcharsets.cpp.

KCharsets::~KCharsets  )  [virtual]
 

Destructor.

Definition at line 371 of file kcharsets.cpp.


Member Function Documentation

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 547 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 553 of file kcharsets.cpp.

References KLocale::codecForEncoding(), KGlobal::config(), KGlobal::locale(), and KConfigBase::readPathEntry().

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 376 of file kcharsets.cpp.

Referenced by fromEntity(), and resolveEntities().

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 412 of file kcharsets.cpp.

References fromEntity().

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

Definition at line 428 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

QStringList KCharsets::availableEncodingNames  ) 
 

Lists all available encodings as names.

Returns:
the list of all encodings

Definition at line 481 of file kcharsets.cpp.

Referenced by descriptiveEncodingNames().

QStringList KCharsets::descriptiveEncodingNames  ) 
 

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

Returns:
the list of descriptive encoding names

Definition at line 535 of file kcharsets.cpp.

References availableEncodingNames(), KGlobal::charsets(), and languageForEncoding().

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

Referenced by descriptiveEncodingNames().

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
