FWIW, I just came back to the above issue and found out what happened. Basically, the syntax changed (?) between Qt 4 and Qt 5. So, rather than having something like:

Qt Code:
  1. @import "/doc/res/common.css";
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
We should now have:

Qt Code:
  1. @import "qthelp://namespace/virtualFolder/doc/res/common.css";
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
Now, I wish it had been documented somewhere...
