+ \brief The Qt WebEngine Widgets module provides a web browser engine as
+ well as C++ classes to display and interact with web content.
- Qt WebEngine Widgets provides a Web browser engine that makes it easy to embed
- content from the World Wide Web into your Qt application.
+ Qt WebEngine Widgets gives you a Web browser engine that you can use to
+ embed content easily from the World Wide Web into your Qt application.
- Qt WebEngine Widgets provides facilities for rendering of HyperText Markup
- Language version 5 (HTML5), Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) and Scalable
- Vector Graphics (SVG) documents, styled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
- and scripted with JavaScript.
+ Qt WebEngine Widgets lets you display HyperText Markup Language version 5
+ (HTML5), Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) and Scalable Vector
+ Graphics (SVG) documents, styled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and
+ scripted with JavaScript.
- In addition to providing pure rendering features, HTML documents can be
- made fully editable to the user through the use of the \c{contenteditable}
- attribute on HTML elements.
+ HTML and XHTML documents can also be made fully editable to the user by
+ using the \c{contenteditable} attribute on HTML elements.
- Qt WebEngine is based on the Chromium project. More information about

- \section1 Should I use Qt WebEngine or Qt WebKit?
-
- Qt WebEngine supercedes the \l{Qt WebKit Widgets}{Qt WebKit} module, which
- was based on the WebKit project, but isn't actively synchronized with the
- upstream WebKit code since Qt 5.2.
-
- Chromium provides its own network and painting engines and is developed
- tightly together with its dependent modules, thus Qt WebEngine provides
- better and more reliable support for the latest HTML5 specification.
- For this reason Qt WebEngine is however heavier than Qt WebKit and doesn't
- give direct access to the network stack and the HTML document through C++ APIs.
-
- For new code we suggest using Qt WebEngine, but it makes sense to continue
- using Qt WebKit for applications that are in need of a deeper C++ API than
- having better and up-to-date support for HTML, CSS and JavaScript features.
-
- For tips on how to change a Qt WebKit application to use Qt WebEngine, see
- \l{Porting from Qt WebKit to Qt WebEngine}
+ Qt WebEngine is based on the Chromium project. See the
+ \l{http://www.chromium.org}{Chromium Project} Web site for more information.
