The code below is from Dream Weaver if users type "This is a test" on the Design window:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
This is a test
</body>
</html>

And this is what RadRichTextBox exports using Frament, Inline, and DontExportStyle options:
<p style=\"text-indent: 0pt;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;margin-top: 0px;margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 12px;margin-left: 0px;text-indent: 0px;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Verdana';font-style: Normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 16px;color: #000000;\">this is a test</span></p>

If Fragment option is not used, the export looks like a night mare on 13th street.  In my humble opinion, the export should:

Do not set any style meaning do not set font and any thing, let the viewer (whatever it is applies the default).

My question is,

Is there a way to export to Html just like Dream Weaver coding page?


Thanks.

HI All,

It seems to be minor thing, but it is the most important to my group, and absolutely will be the key for us to buy Telerik instead of DevExpress: We want the export to html format function of the RabRichTextBox to be efficient in size.   Meaning it should not contain anything styles( colors, fonts, etc...) that were not specified by the users.

Every single byte counts.  And we use Dream Weaver code as the guider.

Is there a way to tell RabRichTextBox to do that?  

Thanks.

Hi DQ,

In order to ensure that the document looks as close as possible when viewed in the editor and in a browser after export, all properties are exported explicitly. We have considered adding customization options that will allow the export of "cleaner" HTML. Unfortunatelly, this hasn't been sheduled yet, so I can't engage with a timeframe.

However, RadRichTextBox is easily extensible, so you can implement a custom HTML format provider with such functionality.

Excuse us for the inconvenience.
