## Detailed Description

The `QAbstractTextDocumentLayout` class is an abstract base class used to implement custom layouts for QTextDocuments.

The standard layout provided by Qt can handle simple word processing including inline layouts, lists and tables.

Some applications (e.g. a word processor or a DTP application) might need more features than the ones provided by Qt's layout engine, in which case you can subclass `QAbstractTextDocumentLayout` to provide your own custom layout behavior for your text documents.
