Display HTML within table

[Zach Pearson]

Involves implementing a QStyledItemDelegate subclass.

I have this nearly working; the only issue left to solve is that the column affected by the delegate will display text over other columns if the column's width is decreased. Do you think the delegate should go in the UI bundle or stay in the blastprotein bundle?

Well, in the ItemTable class if it's not a nightmare. I imagine this would involve adding as_html=True/False to ItemTable.add_column(). But again, if it's much more difficult to do this generically, then just do it for blastprotein.

[Zach Pearson]

It's not. The before launch case is trivial. For the after launch case, we can change pending_columns to a column,html tuple and loop through them instead of extending columns, setting their delegates if need be.

[Zach Pearson]

Looks like the real nightmare is getting rich text to elide when we collapse the column...

[pett]

Table columns initialized with "is_html=True" will support HTML markup for that column.
