Question

I use help button (from QDialog) to open an HTML file, but i want it to open on specific header (<h1>, <h2>, etc.), depending on from which window i use help button.

This is how i open HTML:

QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/HELP.html"));

When you add id attributes to your headlines, you can use anchor links:

<h1 id="somename">my headline</h1>

Your link can then look like this:

QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/HELP.html#somename"));
