QTextEdit not adhering to CSS

[elahav]

I would like to use CSS style sheets to format the HTML contents of a QTextEdit widget. It seems, however, that the widget supports a very restricted set of properties. Specifically, I cannot make it display borders or apply padding. I am able to set the background color and text margins.
The same HTML code displays correctly in a browser.
Is this a known limitation, a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

It's a known limitation. QTextEdit only supports a limited subset of HTML and CSS. It was meant to be a rich text editor, and not a full HTML/CSS rendering engine. Please see http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/richtext-html-subset.html

However, it does support padding and borders. Maybe if you post your HTML string we can see what is wrong.

Thanks.
According to the linked document, borders and paddings are only supported for tables. I was trying to get a <pre> block formatted.
