Import the QtWebKit documentation
This places the documentation in separates .qdoc files with the original license header preserved. We don't want to contaminate our implementation yet just for the documentation, so keep it separate for now. New documentation that isn't attached to the QtWebKit LGPL license should go inline in the code as usual.

+ \class QWebSettings
+ \since 4.4
+ \brief The QWebSettings class provides an object to store the settings used
+ by QWebPage and QWebFrame.
+
+ \inmodule QtWebKit
+
+ Each QWebPage object has its own QWebSettings object, which configures the
+ settings for that page. If a setting is not configured, then it is looked
+ up in the global settings object, which can be accessed using
+ globalSettings().
+
+ QWebSettings allows configuration of browser properties, such as font sizes and
+ families, the location of a custom style sheet, and generic attributes like
+ JavaScript and plugins. Individual attributes are set using the setAttribute()
+ function. The \l{QWebSettings::WebAttribute}{WebAttribute} enum further describes
+ each attribute.
+
+ QWebSettings also configures global properties such as the web page memory
+ cache, icon database, local database storage and offline
+ applications storage.
+
+ \section1 Enabling Plugins
+
+ Support for browser plugins can enabled by setting the
+ \l{QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled}{PluginsEnabled} attribute. For many applications,
+ this attribute is enabled for all pages by setting it on the
+ \l{globalSettings()}{global settings object}. Qt WebKit will always ignore this setting
+ when processing Qt plugins. The decision to allow a Qt plugin is made by the client
+ in its reimplementation of QWebPage::createPlugin().
+
+ \section1 Web Application Support
+
+ WebKit provides support for features specified in \l{HTML 5} that improve the
+ performance and capabilities of Web applications. These include client-side
+ (offline) storage and the use of a Web application cache.
+
+ Client-side (offline) storage is an improvement over the use of cookies to
+ store persistent data in Web applications. Applications can configure and
+ enable the use of an offline storage database by calling the
+ setOfflineStoragePath() with an appropriate file path, and can limit the quota
+ for each application by calling setOfflineStorageDefaultQuota().

+/*!
+ \enum QWebSettings::WebAttribute
+
+ This enum describes various attributes that are configurable through QWebSettings.
+
+ \value AutoLoadImages Specifies whether images are automatically loaded in
+ web pages. This is enabled by default.
+ \value DnsPrefetchEnabled Specifies whether Qt WebKit will try to pre-fetch DNS entries to
+ speed up browsing. This only works as a global attribute. Only for Qt 4.6 and later. This is disabled by default.
+ \value JavascriptEnabled Enables or disables the running of JavaScript
+ programs. This is enabled by default
+ \value JavaEnabled Enables or disables Java applets.
+ Currently Java applets are not supported.
+ \value PluginsEnabled Enables or disables plugins in Web pages (e.g. using NPAPI). Qt plugins
+ with a mimetype such as "application/x-qt-plugin" are not affected by this setting. This is disabled by default.
+ \value PrivateBrowsingEnabled Private browsing prevents WebKit from
+ recording visited pages in the history and storing web page icons. This is disabled by default.
+ \value JavascriptCanOpenWindows Specifies whether JavaScript programs
+ can open new windows. This is disabled by default.
+ \value JavascriptCanCloseWindows Specifies whether JavaScript programs
+ can close windows. This is disabled by default.
+ \value JavascriptCanAccessClipboard Specifies whether JavaScript programs
+ can read or write to the clipboard. This is disabled by default.
+ \value DeveloperExtrasEnabled Enables extra tools for Web developers.
+ Currently this enables the "Inspect" element in the context menu as
+ well as the use of QWebInspector which controls the web inspector
+ for web site debugging. This is disabled by default.
+ \value SpatialNavigationEnabled Enables or disables the Spatial Navigation
+ feature, which consists in the ability to navigate between focusable
+ elements in a Web page, such as hyperlinks and form controls, by using
+ Left, Right, Up and Down arrow keys. For example, if a user presses the
+ Right key, heuristics determine whether there is an element he might be
+ trying to reach towards the right and which element he probably wants.
+ This is disabled by default.
+ \value LinksIncludedInFocusChain Specifies whether hyperlinks should be
+ included in the keyboard focus chain. This is enabled by default.
+ \value ZoomTextOnly Specifies whether the zoom factor on a frame applies
+ only to the text or to all content. This is disabled by default.
+ \value PrintElementBackgrounds Specifies whether the background color and images
+ are also drawn when the page is printed. This is enabled by default.
+ \value OfflineStorageDatabaseEnabled Specifies whether support for the HTML 5
+ offline storage feature is enabled or not. This is disabled by default.
+ \value OfflineWebApplicationCacheEnabled Specifies whether support for the HTML 5
+ web application cache feature is enabled or not. This is disabled by default.
+ \value LocalStorageEnabled Specifies whether support for the HTML 5
+ local storage feature is enabled or not. This is disabled by default.
+ (This value was introduced in 4.6.)
+ \value LocalStorageDatabaseEnabled \e{This enum value is deprecated.} Use
+ QWebSettings::LocalStorageEnabled instead.
+ \value LocalContentCanAccessRemoteUrls Specifies whether locally loaded documents are
+ allowed to access remote urls. This is disabled by default. For more information
+ about security origins and local vs. remote content see QWebSecurityOrigin.
+ (This value was introduced in 4.6.)
+ \value LocalContentCanAccessFileUrls Specifies whether locally loaded documents are
+ allowed to access other local urls. This is enabled by default. For more information
+ about security origins and local vs. remote content see QWebSecurityOrigin.
+ \value XSSAuditingEnabled Specifies whether load requests should be monitored for cross-site
+ scripting attempts. Suspicious scripts will be blocked and reported in the inspector's
+ JavaScript console. Enabling this feature might have an impact on performance
+ and it is disabled by default.
+ \value AcceleratedCompositingEnabled This feature, when used in conjunction with
+ QGraphicsWebView, accelerates animations of web content. CSS animations of the transform and
+ opacity properties will be rendered by composing the cached content of the animated elements.
+ This is enabled by default.
+ \value TiledBackingStoreEnabled This setting enables the tiled backing store feature
+ for a QGraphicsWebView. With the tiled backing store enabled, the web page contents in and around
+ the current visible area is speculatively cached to bitmap tiles. The tiles are automatically kept
+ in sync with the web page as it changes. Enabling tiling can significantly speed up painting heavy
+ operations like scrolling. Enabling the feature increases memory consumption. It does not work well
+ with contents using CSS fixed positioning (see also \l{QGraphicsWebView::}{resizesToContents} property).
+ \l{QGraphicsWebView::}{tiledBackingStoreFrozen} property allows application to temporarily
+ freeze the contents of the backing store. This is disabled by default.
+ \value FrameFlatteningEnabled With this setting each subframe is expanded to its contents.
+ On touch devices, it is desired to not have any scrollable sub parts of the page
+ as it results in a confusing user experience, with scrolling sometimes scrolling sub parts
+ and at other times scrolling the page itself. For this reason iframes and framesets are
+ barely usable on touch devices. This will flatten all the frames to become one scrollable page.
+ This is disabled by default.
+ \value SiteSpecificQuirksEnabled This setting enables WebKit's workaround for broken sites. It is
+ enabled by default.
+ \value CSSGridLayoutEnabled This setting enables support for the CSS 3 Grid Layout module. This
+ CSS module is currently only a draft and support for it is disabled by default.
+ \value ScrollAnimatorEnabled This setting enables animated scrolling. It is disabled by default.
+ \value CaretBrowsingEnabled This setting enables caret browsing. It is disabled by default.
+ \value NotificationsEnabled Specifies whether support for the HTML 5 web notifications is enabled
+ or not. This is enabled by default.
