Yes, I think Qt can do that.

But I don't want to add anything to QTextEdit at the moment. It's a big 
job, the Qt interface being complex, and I want to keep the possibility 
to have the same kind of control with GTK+ in the future.

TextEdit was there just for simple Rich text editing, not for full HTML 
support.
