Editor Indent Feature

[Himadri Banerjee]

I am having trouble with indent feature of RadEditor. I have cut and paste some lines from MS Word and I am stripping all formatting using StripFormattingOptions="AllExceptNewLines" option in my RadEditor. I am using the Nov. Service Pack. Now I have put a hard return on a line and then highlight it and hit the indent from the toolbar. RadEditor in indenting the whole section and not that line. Am I missing something.

Please advise

Hi Himadri,

RadEditor uses the rich text editing engine of the browser and the observed behavior is a browser related, e.g. the indentation and alignment are applied to the whole paragraph rather than to a single line/word of text. In this scenario the whole content is wrapped in a paragraph and the lines are divided by <br /> tags, however the indentation is applied over the whole content.

What I would suggest is setting the NewLineBr property to false, thus the editor will insert paragraph tag on every enter-key press and you will be able to apply the indentation and alignment per line.

Additionally, if you want to reduce the extra space between the paragraph blocks inside the editor's content area, you should set a global CSS paragraph style in your page with margin: 0px, e.g.

  <style>
       P { margin: 0px }
  </style>
    ...  
<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" NewLineBr="false" runat="server"></telerik:RadEditor>
