+\title Format of the QDataStream Operators
+
+The \l QDataStream allows you to serialize some of the Qt data types.
+The table below lists the data types that QDataStream can serialize
+and how they are represented.
+
+It is best to always cast integers to a Qt integer type when writing,
+and to read back into the same Qt integer type when reading.
+
+\table

+ \i \list
+ \i signed byte
+ \endlist
+\row \i Q_INT16
+ \i \list
+ \i signed 16 bit integer
