[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53006] GUI Documentation Browser displays Index chapters of manual poorly

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #98, bug #53006 (project octave):

OK.  For the temp directory, yes, use the Qt features inside the GUI (I think
there is a method for generating temp directories too).

Also, FYI QTextBrowser inherits QTextEdit, which has a find() function:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextedit.html#find
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextdocument.html#FindFlag-enum

which will search for and highlight the occurrence of the supplied string.  So
all that is needed is to layout some text boxes and buttons in a footer,
initially hidden, toggle the hidden state with Cntrl-F, and make some
connections.  Unfortunately, the find() above is not a slot, but one can
create a slot documentation_browser::do_find() and connect it to one or more
of the buttons in the footer, then there should be no need for any new
classes.
