Progress® Kendo UI® Editor for jQuery

Description

How can I achieve the following behavior?

1. Have the first bullet in a list to appear automatically.
2. Type the data you need.
3. Open a new bullet line by pressing the Enter key after you finish typing.

Solution

Handle the select event of the widget and execute the insertUnorderedList command.

	<textarea id="editor"></textarea>

	<script>
	  var shouldInsertList = true;
	  $("#editor").kendoEditor({
	    // Implement an event handler for the select event
		select: function(e) {
		  // Set initially the Editor to start an unordered list
		  if(shouldInsertList) {
			shouldInsertList = false;
			e.sender.exec("insertUnorderedList");
		  }
		}
	  });
	</script>
