I would like to know if the attached results are by design or something you are still working on.
I have some html with tables coming from an existing db source. We have an existing asp.net application which is being completely rewritten in silverlight. the existing app uses the telerik asp.net html editor, but obviously we would be using the telerik silverlight richtextbox for the new app.
emailtemplate5 is how the old version of our app shows the html. emailtemplate6 is the new app. as you can see the results of what appears in the new editor are way different and worse than the old and most of it has to do with how the table is rendered. like for instance in briefcase5 the table doesnt render all the way across the editor and in briefcase6 it does. I realize that there is a big difference in that the asp.net editor is an actual html editor versus your richtextbox silverlight control which has its own proprietary format, but i did do a check against component one's richtextbox and theirs renders the exact same html the same as your asp.net editor, where the table doesnt span the entire width of the editor and it looks good.
are there still ongoing issues with the conversion from html, especially with table rendering, that you are working on or what are your thoughts?

Hi Kirk Quinbar,

The results you are looking at are not by design. We only introduced table support two months ago and there are still some unsupported features and such that would use some improvement. We are currently working on them so that we could provide better support for tables in the next releases. The proper import of DOCX and HTML files is also prioritized, however, RadRichTextBox is not meant to be an HTML editor. We always do our best to import HTML files, but, as we always convert documents to RadDocument rather then display them directly from HTML DOM, some loss will occur.
If you like, you can open a support ticket and send over a sample document for testing purposes.
