WebEngine (Chromium) renderer should allow user to set zoom level

[N0rbert]

I need to use WebEngine (Chromium) renderer to get inline math shown.
But this previewer currently does not support zooming.
Please add zoom functionality to the WebEngine (Chromium) renderer preview.
Currently it is difficult to read text on FullHD display.

Possible workaround is to specify font size using Edit→Change preview font as 16 or bigger. But this does not replace zooming.

Note: I'm using ReText 7.0.4 (installed from pip3) on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS MATE.

Why do you say that changing font does not replace zooming? What should be the difference?

In editor you can use Ctrl + mouse wheel to zoom in/out. But that works based on font size. I can implement the same in WebEngine preview if that helps you.

Sometimes real-time zooming by mouse-wheel is very useful. For example to focus attention on some part of the text.

So it would be faster than change font-size every-time.

If it is possible, please implement zoom for WebEngine when you'll have time.

Fixed in master, please test if you can.

It works, thank you!
