    \brief An introduction to the QtWebKit module.

    \since 4.4

    QtWebKit provides a Web browser engine that makes it easy to embed content
    from the World Wide Web into your Qt application. At the same time Web
    content can be enhanced with native controls.

    QtWebKit provides facilities for rendering of HyperText Markup Language
    (HTML), Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) and Scalable Vector
    Graphics (SVG) documents, styled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and
    scripted with JavaScript.

    A bridge between the JavaScript execution environment and the Qt object
    model makes it possible for custom QObjects to be scripted. Integration
    with the Qt networking module enables Web pages to be transparently loaded
    from Web servers, the local file system or even the Qt resource system.

    In addition to providing pure rendering features, HTML documents can be
    made fully editable to the user through the use of the \c{contenteditable}
    attribute on HTML elements.

    QtWebKit is based on the Open Source WebKit engine. More information about
    WebKit itself can be found on the \l{WebKit Open Source Project} Web site.

    The QtWebKit module is part of the \l{Qt Full Framework Edition}, and the
    \l{Open Source Versions of Qt}.

    \note Building the QtWebKit module with debugging symbols is problematic
    on many platforms due to the size of the WebKit engine. We recommend
    building the module in release mode only for embedded platforms.

    \note Web site icons, also known as "FavIcons", are currently not supported
    on Windows. We plan to address this in a future release.

    \note WebKit has certain minimum requirements that must be met on
    Embedded Linux systems. See the \l{Qt for Embedded Linux Requirements}
    document for more information.

    \section1 Configuring the Build Process

    Applications that use QtWebKit's classes need to be configured to be built
    against the QtWebKit module. The following declaration in a \c qmake
    project file ensures that an application is compiled and linked
    appropriately:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qtwebkit.qdoc 0

    This line is necessary because only the QtCore and QtGui modules are used
    in the default build process.

    To include the definitions of the module's classes, use the following
    directive:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qtwebkit.qdoc 1

    \section1 Architecture

    The easiest way to render content is through the QWebView class. As a
    widget it can be embedded into your forms or a graphics view, and it
    provides convenience functions for downloading and rendering web sites.

    \snippet snippets/webkit/simple/main.cpp Using QWebView

    QWebView acts as a view onto Web pages, each of which is represented by an
    instance of the QWebPage class. QWebPage provides access to the document
    structure in a page, describing features such as frames, the navigation
    history, and the undo/redo stack for editable content.

    HTML documents can be nested using frames in a frameset. An individual
    frame in HTML is represented using the QWebFrame class. It includes the
    bridge to the JavaScript window object and can be painted using QPainter.
    Each QWebPage has one QWebFrame object as its main frame.

    Individual browser features, defaults and other settings can be configured
    through the QWebSettings class. It is possible to provide defaults for all
    QWebPage instances through the default settings. Individual attributes
    can be overidden by the page specific settings object.

    \section1 Netscape Plugin Support

    Since WebKit supports the Netscape Plugin API, Qt applications can display
    Web pages that embed common plugins, as long as the user has the appropriate
    binary files for those plugins installed.

    The following locations are searched for plugins:

    \table
    \header \o Linux/Unix  \o Windows
    \row \o{1,3}
    \list
    \o \c{.mozilla/plugins} in the user's home directory
    \o \c{.netscape/plugins} in the user's home directory
    \o System locations, such as
    \list
    \o \c{/usr/lib/browser/plugins}
    \o \c{/usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins}
    \o \c{/usr/lib/firefox/plugins}

    \o \c{/usr/lib/netscape/plugins-libc6}
    \o \c{/usr/lib64/netscape/plugins}
    \o \c{/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins}
    \endlist
    \o Locations specified by environment variables:
    \list
    \o \c{$MOZILLA_HOME/plugins}
    \o \c{$MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH}
    \o \c{$QTWEBKIT_PLUGIN_PATH}
    \endlist
    \endlist

    \o
    \list
    \o The user's \c{Application Data\Mozilla\plugins} directory
    \o Standard system locations of plugins for Quicktime, Flash, etc.
    \endlist

    \row
    \raw HTML
    <th class="qt-style">Mac OS X</th>
    \endraw
    \row
    \o
    \list
    \o \c{Library/Internet Plug-Ins} in the user's home directory
    \o The system \c{/Library/Internet Plug-Ins} directory
    \endlist
    \endtable
