Rtf with typographic quote problem

[sawyer]

Hello !!

I have a problem with .LoadRtfContent of RadEditor with a rtf string. I lost my typographic quote(’ and ‘) and the double(“ and ”). But in a RichTextBox of Winform, I don't lost my quote.

Here is my string of rtf.

Dim rtfString As String = "{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deftab720{\fonttbl" & _

"{\f0\fswiss MS Sans Serif;}{\f1\froman\fcharset2 Symbol;}" &

"{\f2\froman\fprq2 Times New Roman;}}" & _

"{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;\red255\green0\blue0;}" & _

"\deflang1033\horzdoc{\*\fchars }{\*\lchars }" & _

"\pard\plain\f2\fs24 Test  LeftDoubleQuote=\ldblquote    RightDoubleQuote=\rdblquote    Test single quote LeftQuote=\lquote and RightQuote=\rquote \par }"

RadEditor1.LoadRtfContent(rtfString)


Thank's a lot for a response !!

Hi Sawyer,

RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX and RichTextBox of Winform work with different "Convert RTF to HTML" libraries and this one of RadEditor does not support typographic quotes. I logged the problem in our PITS system and we will try to provide support for typographic quotes in the future. Here you can find the PITS Issue: Public URL. I also updated your Telerik points.

thank'S

Also is it normal to have the same problem with a rtf file ?

Hello Sawyer,

I uses MS Word to type typographic quotes in a RTF file and examined the saved file with a HEX editor. I noticed that the quotes were saved as \'93 and \'94.

So I was able to fix the problem by replacing

\lquote with \'93 

and

\rquote with \'94

These symbols will be rendered in RadEditor.

Kind regards,

Hello !!

 I use this method but I get the wrong result. The \'93 become to a left double quote and the \'94 become to a right double quote.

How to have a right single quote and a left single quote ?


Thank's

Hello Sawyer,

Here are they are:

LeftQuote=\'91 and RightQuote=\'92 

LeftDoubleQuote=\'93  and  RightDoubleQuote=\'94  

All the best,

But I have a another problem with a rtf string

Example : 
Dim text as string = "{\rtf1 Test \par }"
RadEditor1.LoadRtfContent(text)

I have a error :
System.ArgumentNullException



But it work when I open with Word or another rtf reader.

Hi Sawyer,

The reported error occurs because the string that you are trying to load in the editor is very simple and is missing definitions for fonts and etc. While RTF applications may have predefined default values for such configurations the third party tool used to provide this functionality for RadEditor does not and the content that is going to be loaded should contain those definitions default values.
