Project: QGIS

Version: 3.42

Feature: Support CSS background property in labels/text renderer

QGIS now supports CSS background-color and background-image properties when used with HTML labels.

  • Backgrounds are supported for block items (e.g. <div>) or inline items (e.g. <span>)
  • For images, the CSS should be formatted as background-image: url(xx). It supports local file paths, http links, or base64 embedded content
  • Backgrounds are not supported for curved text
  • HTML backgrounds are always rendered above any background shape for the label, and below drop shadows/buffers
