Disable Filters: ConvertFontToSpan,ConvertToXhtml and FixUlBoldItalic not working as expected in V2014.2.724.40

[Brete]

I am working on upgrading some sites from   V2013.1.714.40 to V2014.2.724.40 and I am having an issue with the filters:  ConvertFontToSpan,ConvertToXhtml and FixUlBoldItalic


I am calling DisableFilter  on page load, but the filters don't appear to be working the same as  before. 


When I read the RadEditor.Content on server or preview in the HTML window I am getting the following results:


Results in  V2013.1.714.40  (Expected Result)

Note: The Bolds are <b></b>, the Italic is <i></i>, Underline is <u></u> and the Font is <Font ></font>

Note: The Bolds are now <strong></strong>, the Italic is now <span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>, Underline is now <em></em> and the Font is now <Font <span style="color: "></span>    




Did something change in the way the filters are used?

Hello Brete,

The described behavior is due to improvements of the inline commands introduced in Q3 2013. This help article explains more on the matter and provides a backward compatibility solution. 

Note that you should also disable the ConvertTags filter to stop the transformation of the <b> to <strong> tags.

This example works fine on my end and achieves the required functionality:

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
</telerik:RadScriptManager>

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(typeof(RadEditor), "Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.RadEditor.Commands.LegacyInlineCommands.js") %>"></script>

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1">
    <Content>
        <b>Bold</b><br/><i>Italic</i><br/><u>Underline</u>
        <br/>
        <font color="#00b050">using font and HTML attributes</font>
    </Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // retain <b> and <i> tags and stop transformation to <strong> and <em>
    RadEditor1.DisableFilter(EditorFilters.ConvertTags);
    // stop transformation of <u> tags to inline style
    RadEditor1.DisableFilter(EditorFilters.FixUlBoldItalic);
    // stop transformation of <font> to <span>
    RadEditor1.DisableFilter(EditorFilters.ConvertFontToSpan);
}
