HTML paragraph tag inserted when copy/paste from Notepad

[Zohaib]

Hi,

I am copying text from notepad and pasting it in Editor in design mode and when i try to see it in HTML mode, a paragraph tag is inserted around the text.

Could you please advise me some solution for this issue?

Thank you​

Sorry I forgot to mention that this issue is only in IE.

Hello Zohaib,

The described behavior stems from IE. When plain text is pasted over, and there are lines separated by two carriage returns, instead of BR tags, paragraphs appear.

This can be bypassed and altered by using the OnClientPasteHtml event (http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/editor/client-side-programming/events/onclientpastehtml), and make sure that always plain text is pasted. Plus, to make sure that paragraphs are transformed to BR tags, so to keep the carriage returns in the HTML content. You can also try to configure the StripFormattingOptions (http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/editor/managing-content/pasting-content/overview#using-the-stripformattingoptions-property) and see whether you can achieve a satisfying output.
