QLabel sizeHint without images

Hi, everybody I have a problem regarding QLabel. I rely on sizeHint() to determine the preferred height of a QLabel with word warp enabled. The problem comes when I try to add image tags (like <img >) to the text. the sizeHint().height() explodes to more than twice the actual required space. How can I compute a real measure of the sizehint disregarding img tags?
