/**
 * @short Extended QTextBrowser.
 *
 * An extended QTextBrowser.
 *
 * By default it will
 * invoke the system mailer or the system browser when a link is
 * activated, or it can emit the signal urlClick() or mailClick()
 * when a link is activated.
 *
 * If the link starts with the text "whatsthis:" a QWhatsThis
 * box will appear and then display the rest of the text.
 *
 * @warning The "whatsthis:" feature is considered deprecated: it is not
 *          available in KDE Frameworks 5, because KDE Frameworks 5 does
 *          not provide KTextBrowser anymore.
