Description Luke-Jr 2020-11-19 16:55:38 UTC 
KDevelop only uses QtWebEngine for its built-in documentation viewer. Since QtWebEngine often has unfixed security vulnerabilities (about a dozen at this moment), it would be nice to make it optional where practical to do so.

I'd prefer to forego the built-in documentation entirely (rather than pull in QtWebEngine), but it's probably also possible to simply use XDG to open the docs in whatever external HTML viewer the user has?
