The QTextBlockFormat class provides formatting information for blocks of text in a QTextDocument.
A document is composed of a list of blocks, represented by QTextBlock objects. Each block can contain an item of some kind, such as a paragraph of text, a table, a list, or an image. Every block has an associated QTextBlockFormat that specifies its characteristics.
To cater for left-to-right and right-to-left languages you can set a block's direction with setDirection(). Paragraph alignment is set with setAlignment. Margins are controlled by setTopMargin, setBottomMargin, setLeftMargin, setRightMargin. Overall indentation is set with setIndent, the indentation of the first line with setTextIndent.
Line breaking can be enabled and disabled with setNonBreakableLines.
The brush used to paint the paragraph's background is set with setBackground(), and other aspects of the text's appearance can be customized by using the setProperty() function with the OutlinePen, ForegroundBrush, and BackgroundBrush QTextFormat::Property values.
If a text block is part of a list, it can also have a list format that is accessible with the listFormat() function.
