Description Tor Arne Vestbø 2009-09-18 08:12:44 PDT 
This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-2787
<http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-2787>

--- Description ---

If one does:

    QString html="XHTML content";
    QWebView->setHtml( html );

it is parsed with WebKit's HTML parser as opposed to its XHTML parser (causing some oddities in the DOM tree because e.g. for HTML, <a id="something" /> is just an opened tag, while for XHTML it's opening and closing a tag).

QWebView->setContent( html.toLocal8Bit(), "application/xhtml+xml" ) does the correct thing, but is slower (and possibly less accurate), because of the charset conversions.

setHtml() should probably set the MIME type to application/xhtml+xml instead of text/html if it detects a proper XHTML header ("<?xml" and the doctype are good hints).

The documentation says better what to use now.
