c++ - How to create a bold, red text label in Qt?

Question

I want to write a single, bold red line in my application using Qt.

As far as I understand, I would create a QLabel, set its textFormat to rich text and give it a rich text string to display:

QLabel *warning = new QLabel;
warning->setTextFormat(Qt::RichText);
warning->setText("{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252 {\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;} {\colortbl;\red255\green0\blue0;} \f0 \cf0 this is bold red text}");

I tested this rich text string in a rich text editor and it displays fine.

But Qt displays the whole string with all braces, keywords and backslashes instead of "this is bold red text". What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help.

Try using HTML formatting: <b><font... etc </b>.

Qt Designer does it like this: <span style=" font-size:8pt; font-weight:600; color:#aa0000;">TextLabel</span>
