      Hello everyone,

      I introduced a formatted text in a QLabel widget ("ab/ someText") using
      the Qt Designer. When I generate the .ts files, the corresponding text
      to be translated is the following:

      <html><head><meta name="qrichtext" content="1" /><style
type="text/css">\np, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }\n</style></head><body
style=" font-family:'MS Shell Dlg 2'; font-size:8.25pt; font-weight:400;
font-style:normal;">\n<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px;
margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0;
text-indent:0px;"><span style=" font-weight:600;">ab/</span>
someText</p></body></html>

      I find the text above difficult to translate, obviously by a translator
      (not a programmer), and the problem is worse when we intend to translate
      a right-to-left language.

      So, to resolve this problem, I suggest adding in Qt Linguist the
      possibility of drawing the source text as plain text or rich text and
      adding buttons to format the translated text (make it bold, italic,
      colors, etc.).

      Thanks,
      Moez
