DetailsDescription:
If you install qt5-tools via pacman, it does not install extra/qt5-webkit; but at runtime, assistant will fail to load libQt5WebKitWidgets.so.5. Qt assistant can and should be built to use qtwebengine or QTextBrowser instead. (Personally I prefer to have it use QTextBrowser to save memory, but many people in the Qt Company feel that we should use webengine so that the documentation can have a richer feature set in the future.) qt5-webkit is not officially part of Qt, is not shipped as part of the Qt SDK, and thus the official Qt builds do not have assistant linking with it. Additional info: * package version extra/qt5-tools 5.13.2-1 |

Thanks for the info. This comes from the times when webengine was not an option, and webkit provided better rendering than plain qtextbrowser.

Wait, where is the webengine support? I don't see anything in https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qttools.git/tree/src/assistant/assistant/assistant.pro?h=5.14
