Change the indentation with QSyntaxHighlighter

[Fred]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the indentation of text with the QSyntaxHighlighter, but so far I found no solution. It's easy to change the color or the fontweight but it is also possible to change the indentation? I want to indent comments in my QTextEdit.

Thank you for any suggestions.
Fred

void MyHighlighter::highlightBlock(const QString &text)
 {
     QTextCharFormat myClassFormat;
     myClassFormat.setFontWeight(QFont::Bold);
     myClassFormat.setForeground(Qt::darkMagenta);
     QString pattern = "\\bMy[A-Za-z]+\\b";
 
     QRegExp expression(pattern);
     int index = text.indexOf(expression);
     while (index >= 0) {
         int length = expression.matchedLength();
         setFormat(index, length, myClassFormat);
         index = text.indexOf(expression, index + length);
     }
 }

         index = text.indexOf(expression, index + length);
     }
 }

Do you want to perform indentation by adding extra spaces or tabs or by some other means?
