PlainText does not insert line feeds or whitespace

Reply Quote

The PlainText property is generating runon sentences for me. Go to the Extract plain text example: http://cutesoft.net/example/plaintextoutput.aspx

Delete the example and then type in the following:

Let's test this theory

Was there a line feed or whitespace inserted?

No there wasn't

Click the submit button and you get this:

Let's test this theoryWas there a line feed or whitespace inserted?No there wasn't

I would expect line feeds (crlf) where there was a <P> or a <DIV>, or at least whitespace. This behavior makes the PlainText property not nearly as useful as it should be. First of all, if I try to display this on screen, I get one big long chunk of text. Second, if I store this in a database for searching, then some of the words will be squished together, like "theoryWas" above.

Any ideas?

Any progress on this issue? I was really looking forward to using this feature, but it's not going to work for me in its current form.

Is there a resolution to this yet. I just spent 2 hours trying to get this to edit text files and this is a big deal.

Still no answer?? This makes the PlainText property unusable.

In the meantime, you should post code to allow your users to generate plain text from the Cute Editor, even if it's in Javascript.

We will add a new property in the next build to resolve this problem.

/// <summary>
/// Retrieves the CuteEditor HTML content in plain text format and replace carriage returns with the appropriate br and p tags for breaks.
/// </summary>

PlainTextWithLinefeeds

string plaintextwithlinefeeds = editor1.PlainTextWithLinefeeds;
