Extra spaces/gaps around <p>, <ul>, <ol>, <li> tags when rendering html text.

[Elena]

Good day!

Could you please help me to find the solution?

I have several htmlboxex in the report which accept html-strings from text-editor(for ex. <p>Comment</p><p>Comment</p><ol><li>List</li><li>List</li><li>List</li></ol><p><br></p><p>Comment</p><p>Comment</p>). And when I open the preview mode or look at it in html-viewer I get annoying extra gaps (see attached support.png). I tried to replace these <p>-tags with <div>-tags in the retrieved string in my sql-query (<div>Comment</div><div>Comment</div><ol><li>List</li><li>List</li><li>List</li></ol><div><br></div><div>Comment</div><div>Comment</div>). It helps. But there are some other tags that cannot be replaced (tags of ordered and unordered lists for example). And these gaps are still rendered. Could you please help me to find the solution how to make this text to be rendered correctly (see attached original.png, result.png)?

Thanks

Best regards, Helen

Hi Helen,

Thank you for the runnable report. I confirm the described issues. Indeed, there is additional whitespace between the <p> tags and before and after the list tags.

I have logged this as a new bug report in our public feedback portal and voted on your behalf - HtmlTextBox generates extra space around the paragraph and list tags. As a token of gratitude, we have updated your Telerik points.

The workaround you may use until we fix the issue is described in the KB article How to render any HTML tags and CSS attributes in reports.
