Well, I took a crash course in Qt (read large portions of its manual), found some great tutourials, and have some idea of whats going on.

I do however have some specific questions to start with:

If you look at the attached picture, you will see how there are gray, ridged-areas around words like 'PATTERN07'. Is there a way to create a similar effect (using labels, formatting, or whatever) inside a QTextEdit?
Is there a way to bind them to a click event (so the user can select that Pattern occurence or type)? In tkinter I just tagged areas and bound the tags.
Is there a way to make certain parts of the QTextEdit uneditable by user (the 'PATTERNS07' or 'CHAPTER-TITLE' tags for example)?
Is there some concept of tags in QTextEdit?
And last, is there maybe a better approach than QTextEdit widget and labeled paragraphs/spans; either easier to program or more intuitive for a user?

Thank you for your help!
