Encoding asp tags

[AbsolutelyN]

Hi

I want to be able to add some asp tags into the text editor but when I save the text it encodes the greater than and less than symbols. 

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

becomes:

&lt;%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %&gt;

Is there a option to prevent this or do I need to fix the string when I save it?

Thanks
Tristan

Hi Tristan,

RadEditor is a HTML/XHTML editor. It relies/depends on the underlying browser rich-editing engine, and it does not support editing XML. While you can use some hacks to make the content look prettier (e.g. wrap the XML in a <PRE> tag, and others), we do not recommend trying to use RadEditor as an XML editor.

 You can also test all DHTML editors in Firefox and you will notice that the browser automatically encodes the XML tags like
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>
to
&lt;%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %&gt;

 That is why we strongly discourage you to edit full ASPX pages, because the editor is not an XML editor, but a XHTML/HTML editor.
