Paragraphs are turned into line breaks when using Paste Plain Text in RadEditor

[Judy.Wang]

Hi Telerik Team,

we are experience an issue which happens on Telerik demo site too, is there any way we can fix it?

 

Steps to Reproduce :

1. go to link https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx

2. Highlight and copy some HTML( you can copy html bottom of the page )
3. Use Paste as Plain Text to paste your content.

4. check RadEditor html, <p> has been replaced by <br/>

 

you can check the detailed info in the attachment too,

 

Thanks,

Lan

Hi Judy,

The reported behavior is the intended and expected behavior by design. Here is the code responsible for the PastePlainText functionality:

	//Paste with Stripping
	Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList.PastePlainText = function(commandName, editor, commandArgs) {
		var cleanAndPaste = function(content) {
			if (content) {
				var plainText = content.replace(/\&/g, "&amp;").replace(/</g, "&lt;").replace(/>/g, "&gt;");
				plainText = utils.replaceNewLineWithBr(plainText);
				if (plainText) editor.pasteHtml(plainText, commandName);
			}
		};

var browser = Telerik.Web.Browser;

	var utils = $E.Utils = 
		replaceNewLineWithBr: function (textData)
		{
			try
			{
				textData = textData.replace(/\n/g, "<br>");
				return textData;
			}
			catch (exc) { }
		},

The case is also discussed in the following forum https://www.telerik.com/forums/pasting-plain-text-as-paragraphs-in-lt-p-gt-tags-rather-than-with-lt-br-gt-tags
