How time flies....  I was doing other stuff for a while, relatively happy with 
QTextBrowser.  Now I noticed that I'm eventually going to need webkit 
functionality, and this bit me again.

I took a look at ImageDecoderQt and that seems fairly straight forward, I 
don't see any reason to suspect it would not support any image format Qt has 
plugins installed for provided the data gets that far.  

Btw, my data does not come from a web server, but from a file. It just a .html 
and a .jp2 and .png file.  

If you suspect the html itself, the full html and images are at 
http://mpaja.com/download/foo.tgz

Just the html is at http://pastebin.com/9kC1rt1U

Any other tips?    

Thanks,
