RadEditor and StyleBuilder and Lists

[Matt]

I am having a problem with special lists in the RadEditor. I need to use special types of lists (roman numerals, symbols, letters, etc) which is an option available in the RadEditor's Style Builder. However, any time I attempt to apply these styles it just doesn't work.

I was able to reproduce this with the RadEditor in your demo section. (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/xhtmlvalidatortrackchangesformatcodeblockdialogs/defaultcs.aspx) Ive attached images that will show you the original bulleted list and then the bulleted list after I attempted to format it to be roman numerals (i, ii, iii, iv, ...).

The html for each list is as follows.
Original bulleted list:

<ul>
    <li>
    <em>Out-of-the-box XHTML-enabled Output...</em>
    </li>
    <li>
    <em>Unmatched Loading Speed and Performance</em>
    </li>
    <li>
    <em>Microsoft Word-like Spell-checking</em>
    </li>
    <li>
    <em>Seven Ways for Pasting from Word</em>
    </li>
    <li>
    <em>Multilevel Undo/Redo with Action Trails</em>
    </li>
    <li>
    <em>Extended Functionality Through Integrated Controls</em>
    </li>
</ul>

After Formatting with Style Builder:

<ul>
            <li>
            <em><span></span></em></li>
            <span>Out-of-the-box XHTML-enabled Output...
            Unmatched Loading Speed and Performance
            Microsoft Word-like Spell-checking
            Seven Ways for Pasting from Word
            Multilevel Undo/Redo with Action Trails
            Extended Functionality Through Integrated Controls</span>
            <li><em></em>
            </li>
</ul>

I did notice that for your upcomming Q1 release there is "Issue ID 4835 - IMPROVE StyleBuilder dialog for RadEditor." I wanted to find out if this issue is resolved with that, and if not I wanted to bring this to your attention.

Thank you!

I have checked out the Q1 release and although it looks slightly different, this feature still does not work at all.

Its not really a suitable solution to tell users trying to use a rich text editor that they have to go into the html and add style="list-style:upper-roman;" to their list tags. Especially when the feature to set the list style is there.

Is there any way I could get an update on this issue and when it might be addressed.

Thank you

Hi Matt,

The issue you are reporting is actually more related to the RadEditor, rather than the StyleBuilder dialog. The issue lies with the way the RadEditor selects the element that will be decorated. The StyleBuilder is merely the tool that sets CSS rules.
