TelerikEditor

[Tim]

I have a requirement in my project to allow the editing of text files.

The editor doesn't need to be sophisticated, i.e. basic editing functionality, cutting-and-pasting lines, and search and replace text, where the search facility programmatically highlights all the text that can be replaced.

I have tried using the TelerikEditor, with mixed results.

I have made the <p> element behave as an inline element. This makes it look more like a text editor, but you have to hit return twice at the end of each line to start a new line. Also adding a new line after a highlighted word, the highlight "bleeds" across the lines. I suspect there will be other undesirable behaviour as I add functionality.

Is it possible to customise the TelerikEditor in a better way to get the behaviour I require?
Or is there a better component to use?

I notice Telerik advertise a "RichTextEditor", but I assume that is just another name for the Html Editor.

Hello Tim,

Changing a block element (<p>) to behave as an inline element might cause unexpected results in certain functionalities of the Editor, so this is not something that is recommended.

As for the editing experience - can you provide more details on the full list of requirements that you need to cover? Changing the current behavior of the Editor might not be optimal (or even not possible) as well as it might cause side effects to other functionalities.

Thanks for the reply.

It was a longshot. It is indeed difficult to get text editor behaviour in a html editor.

I will investigate alternative components instead.
