    public class QTextCharFormat

extends QTextFormat
implements java.lang.Cloneable

The QTextCharFormat class provides formatting information for characters in a `QTextDocument`. The character format of text in a document specifies the visual properties of the text, as well as information about its role in a hypertext document.

The font used can be set by supplying a font to the `setFont()` function, and each aspect of its appearance can be adjusted to give the desired effect. `setFontFamily()` and `setFontPointSize()` define the font's family (e.g. Times) and printed size; `setFontWeight()` and `setFontItalic()` provide control over the style of the font. `setFontUnderline()`, `setFontOverline()`, `setFontStrikeOut()`, and `setFontFixedPitch()` provide additional effects for text.

The color is set with `setForeground()`. If the text is intended to be used as an anchor (for hyperlinks), this can be enabled with `setAnchor()`. The `setAnchorHref()` and `setAnchorNames()` functions are used to specify the information about the hyperlink's destination and the anchor's name.

  `QTextFormat`, `QTextBlockFormat`, `QTextTableFormat`, and `QTextListFormat`.

### setAnchor

    public final void setAnchor(boolean anchor)

  If `anchor` is true, text with this format represents an anchor, and is formatted in the appropriate way; otherwise the text is formatted normally. (Anchors are hyperlinks which are often shown underlined and in a different color from plain text.)

  The way the text is rendered is independent of whether or not the format has a valid anchor defined. Use `setAnchorHref()`, and optionally `setAnchorNames()` to create a hypertext link.

See also:
  `isAnchor()`.

### setAnchorHref

    public final void setAnchorHref(java.lang.String value)

  Sets the hypertext link for the text format to the given `value`. This is typically a URL like "http://www.trolltech.com/index.html".

  The anchor will be displayed with the `value` as its display text; if you want to display different text call `setAnchorNames()`.

  To format the text as a hypertext link use `setAnchor()`.

See also:
  `anchorHref()`.

### setAnchorNames

    public final void setAnchorNames(java.util.List names)

  Sets the text format's anchor `names`. For the anchor to work as a hyperlink, the destination must be set with `setAnchorHref()` and the anchor must be enabled with `setAnchor()`.
