Hi all,

I have a QSyntaxHighlighter that applies not just coloring/formatting, but also left/top margin, and text indent to the text to display it. It works great. But the changes to the margin/indent are made via QTextCursor, and they go onto the Undo stack, so it breaks undo/redo for the QTextEdit.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can change the margin/indent of a QTextBlock without affecting the undo stack? I want the margins/indent to be displayed but not viewed as changes to the underlying QTextDocument. I'd rather not have to roll my own undo/redo...

//code in void QSyntaxHighlighter::highlightBlock(const QString &txt)
//determine level of text
if(level)
{
  setCurrentBlockState(level);
  blkfmt.setTopMargin(10);
  blkfmt.setLeftMargin(((level)*2)*chW);
  blkfmt.setTextIndent((-level-1)*chW);
  myCur.mergeBlockFormat(blkfmt);
}

TIA,

Josh
