Summary<\/strong>: in this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use the PyQt QTextEdit<\/code> class to create a widget that edits and displays both plain and rich text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction to the PyQt QTextEdit #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The QLineEdit<\/a><\/code> class allows you to create a widget that supports editing a single line of text. To enter multiple lines of text, you use QTextEdit<\/code> class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike QLineEdit<\/code>, QTextEdit<\/code><\/code> supports both plain and rich text. In practice, you’ll use the QTextEdit<\/code><\/code> widget for editing and displaying both plain and rich text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The QTextEdit<\/code><\/code> widget supports rich text formatting using HTML<\/code>-styles tag or Markdown format. The QTextEdit<\/code><\/code> is designed to handle large documents and to respond quickly to user input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PyQT QTextEdit example #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following example shows how to create a simple multi-line text widget using the QTextEdit<\/code> class:<\/p>\n\n\n

import<\/span> sys\nfrom<\/span> PyQt6.QtWidgets import<\/span> QApplication, QWidget, QTextEdit, QFormLayout\nfrom<\/span> PyQt6.QtCore import<\/span> Qt\n\n\nclass<\/span> MainWindow<\/span>(QWidget)<\/span>:<\/span>\n    def<\/span> __init__<\/span>(self, *args, **kwargs)<\/span>:<\/span>\n        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)\n\n        self.setWindowTitle('PyQt TexEdit'<\/span>)\n        self.setMinimumWidth(200<\/span>)\n\n        layout = QFormLayout()\n        self.setLayout(layout)\n        text_edit = QTextEdit(self)\n        layout.addRow(text_edit)\n\n        self.show()\n\n\nif<\/span> __name__ == '__main__'<\/span>:\n    app = QApplication(sys.argv)\n    window = MainWindow()\n    sys.exit(app.exec())<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
