Public Member Functions
QString	endOfLineChar () const
	Function which provides the end of line character used by the formatting engine.
QString	fileExtension () const
	Function which provides a file extension which will be used if the logger engine is a File logger engine.
QString	finalizeString () const
	Function which is used to provide the finalization string for the logger engine. This string will be sent to the logger engine after all messages.
QString	formatMessage (Logger::MessageType message_type, const QList< QVariant > &messages) const
	Function which is called to format the message.
QString	initializeString () const
	Function which is used to provide the initialization string for the logger engine. This string will be sent to the logger engine before any messages.

Public Member Functions inherited from Qtilities::Logging::AbstractFormattingEngine
bool	addColorFormattingHint (CustomFormattingHint color_formatting_hint)
	Adds a color formatting hint to the formatting engine.
void	clearColorFormattingHints ()
	Clear all color formatting hint rules specified for this engine.
QList< CustomFormattingHint >	colorFormattingHints () const
	Returns all color formatting hint rules specified for this engine.
QString	matchColorFormattingHint (const QString &message, Logger::MessageTypeFlags message_type_flags) const
	Checks a color formatting hint against a log message to see if they match.
void	removeColorFormattingHint (CustomFormattingHint custom_formatting_hint)
	Removes a specific color formatting hint.

Additional Inherited Members

static QString	escape (const QString &plain)
	Function that does the same as QTextDocument::escape(). Since the Logging module does not depend on QtGui, we cannot use that function directly.

Detailed Description

Rich Text Formatting Engine.

This formatting engine prepares the logged messages in rich text format suited for widget based logger engines. All QVariants in the input list of formatMessage() are converted to strings and one single string is constructed.

A preview of the formatting applied is shown below:

Note:

This formatting engine supports custom color formatting hints by matching the match expressions against the first string (the first QVariant in the list passed to formatMessage()).
