    Working in Higher Education, we regularly have users requesting that they be able to using hanging indents for their bibliographies. Is there a hanging indent button in RadEditor? Something that would render something like: style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.5in;" ?

    Hi Matt,

    The following forum thread will show you how to overwrite the default Indent command of RadEditor and customize it: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/editor/radeditor-indent-to-use-padded-div-instead-of-blockquote.aspx

    If you would like you can implement as another approach a new custom Indent button. This demo shows how to build custom buttons: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/customtools/defaultcs.aspx

    All the best,

    I followed the demo (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/customtools/defaultcs.aspx) to implement as a new custom Indent button, however, when I set the RadEditor enabled='false' for read-only viewing; I get a runtime "Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'Telerik' is undefined... presumably because the RadEditor control has been rendered as a <div> tag now. How do I get my custom button Javascript code to dynamically execute or not execute based on the presence of the RadEditor?

    Hello Matt,

    You should wrap the JavaScript command of the custom button in:


    if(typeof($telerik) != "undefined") {
       //put the command declaration here
    }

    or

    if(typeof(RadEditorCommandList) != "undefined") {
                Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["CustomButton"] = function(commandName, editor, args)
                {   
                };
    }
