RichTextEditor Not Recognizing "BR" Tags

Hello,

I'm having problemes loading html with "br" tags. The RichTextEditor discards this tags, but you have said in other posts, that this tag is supported by the editor.

I'm using the Silverlight Elements edition, and no way to load correctly with br tags. I've tried loading the "br" tag in all possible combinations (with and without slash, with and without spaces,...) to see if it was a parsing problem, but it's still not working.

Any idea?

Thank you.

Hello

This was a bug in the initial release which was later resolved in a nightly build. Install the latest nightly build and let me know if the problem remains: http://www.mindscapehq.com/products/silverlightelements/nightly-builds

Hello Jason,

I've installed the last nightly build and it seems to work correctly. At less, the "BR" tags are correctly recognized.

However i get an unexpected runtime error when trying to load some special structures of HTML. I've been searching for the cause and i think that the problem is when inside a "li" tag appears another tags as "p" or "span".

Example:

<li><p>lore ipsum...</p></li>

Another one:

<li><span ....>lore ipsum</span></li>

In this cases the method "loadHTML" on the RichTextEditor, raises a "NullReferenceException" inside the call.

I attach you the exception detail in the end of the post. I understand that this kind of inner tags inside the "li" tag, are not so polite or adequate, but i have to work with this scenarios, because they are bits of html code remaining in the system.

Here is the exception details:

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code

Thanks a lot in advance, and let me see if there's any way to solve it soon or it will take a long. Just to organize myself. (and sorry for my english, i know it's not enough correct :P)

Regards.

Hello

Apologies for the delayed reply! The span tag seems to be working fine for me, but I have resolved the issue of using a P tag within a list item. This fix will be available through the next nightly build. The next nightly build will be available after around 1200 GMT. Thanks for pointing out this issue.

Hello Jason,

It seems to be working correctly! I will test deeply with more test items. For any other inconvenient i will post in the support forums.

Thanks and have a nice day!
