Loading data from an oracle CLOB into the rad editor - the clob contains plain text with formatting in the form of spaces and line feeds.
Code that assigns the content:
rePageEditor.Content = (String)((DataRow)dt.Rows[0])["CLOB_DATA"];
The problem is that when the editor displays the text, ALL of the existing text formatting is gone...
How do I load this type of text data into the radeditor without losing all of the existing text formatting? The data is coming from an old system - if some html should be added during the migration that could be easily done.

Hi Bill,
RadEditor is an HTML editor and it can work and render pure HTML only. The line feeds and new lines are not HTML tags and they cannot be rendered by the browser. You need to replace with String.Replace() the line feeds with the respective valid HTML tags before loading the content via the Content property in the editor.
All the best,
