KWebKitPart
===========

KWebKitPart is a KDE component (KPart) wrapper for QtWebKit. It is intended to
allow KPart based KDE applications such as Konqueror to use it in place of other
browser engine, such as KHTML, to browse the web in Konqueror.

Known limitations and unimplemented features are listed in the following
documents:

* https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/repository/revisions/master/entry/kdewebkit/ISSUES
* https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/base/kwebkitpart/repository/revisions/master/entry/TODO

Please report any issues to: https://bugs.kde.org
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not select "konqueror" as product, but "kwebkitpart"!

There is also a public mailing list available for support:

    webkit-devel @ kde.org

How to use KWebKitPart in Konqueror
===================================

You can switch between the different rendering engines:
View -> View Mode -> {KHTML, WebKit} (website needs to be open)
If WebKit does not show up in Konqueror, run 'kbuildsycoca4' and
restart Konqueror. Note that this change does not persist. If you
press the reload button or open a new website, it will fall back
to the default rendering engine. 

If you want to set KWebKitPart as default for any website, run:
'keditfiletype text/html'
and move "WebKit (kwebkitpart)" in the "Embedding" tab to the top.

In KDE 4.6 and higher you can choose the default rendering engine
in Konqueror's configuration dialog under the "General" section.
