Toolbar: Separator missing?

[Trevor]

Was the "Separator" toolbar item removed from the Kendo Editor for a specific reason? Or is there a way to implement it that I'm not seeing?

And if the former is the case, are there any plans to re-implement it?

Hello Trevor,

Indeed, the separator has been omitted in the previous release, but will be included in the next one. Currently you can add a visual separator as a custom template tool.

Has this been added yet ?
If not, when ?

Can someone provide the code to do this using a custom tool please.

I assume we will need to create our own image ?

Thanks

Hello Chris,

The separator is already available in the pure client-side Kendo UI Editor. It will be added to its MVC wrapper in the coming service pack, which is due next week.

I cannot see how to implement in the documentation, I assume this has not been updated.

Can you provide a code demo please.

Hello Chris,

The separator is now documented:

In case you're still looking to do it manually with the MVC wrapper, it's pretty simple using the CustomTemplate, here's an example:

.Tools(tools => tools

                .Clear()

                .Bold().Italic().Underline()

                .CustomTemplate(s => s.Template("<li class=\"k-separator\"></li>"))

                .InsertUnorderedList().InsertOrderedList()

                .CustomTemplate(s => s.Template("<li class=\"k-separator\"></li>"))

                .CreateLink()

            )

Hi Sean,

Actually the <li> element cannot be part of the template content. The <li> element is added automatically and you should supply only what's inside it.

Anyway, the latest Kendo UI Editor and its MVC wrapper support separators.

All the best,

What I posted works just fine, but yes, I have the latest now and it supports the Separator.

Thanks
