The Telerik Blazor Telerik Editor Insert Hyperlink functionality is not consistent with other Telerik Editor components and non Telerik Editors. Usually when dealing with Editors and the Insert Hyperlink feature, you can insert a hyperlink without need to select and convert existing text. You can also usually use the ctrl+k keyboard shortcut instead of clicking on the button. This does not work in the Telerik Blazor Editor.
The differences and lack of functionality has been raised as an issue by end users.
Expected Behaviour
- Ensure no text is selected. The Insert Hyperlink button should be enabled.
- Click the Insert Hyperlink button or press ctrl+k.
- Enter values for web address, text, tooltip and "open link in new window".
- Click insert. An anchor tag with the given text, link, etc. is created.
This can be reproduced on any of the Kendo UI for jQuery demo pages. It can also be reproduced within the editor on this very form.
Actual Behaviour
- Ensure no text is selected. The Insert Hyperlink button is not enabled and cannot be clicked.
- You must select existing text to be able to convert it to a hyperlink.
This can be reproduced on any of the demo pages that has the hyperlink button.
The Editor is not showing its Value in the following scenario:
- Using JSInterop in OnAfterRenderAsync
- Setting the Editor Value in OnAfterRenderAsync and after the JSInterop call
- Blazor Server app (seems to work in WebAssembly)
Possible workarounds are:
- Set the Editor Value and call StateHasChanged() before using JSInterop in OnAfterRenderAsync, or
- Add some small delay (for example, await Task.Delay(100); ) before using JSInterop.
I am using the LinkCommandArgs to programmatically create a link. I am adding all the required parameters (string href, string text, string target, string title) but no link is added to the Editor content.

For the time being, you may add a link using the HtmlCommandArgs tool and the "insertHtml" command like so: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/GyuTmMkt56f3YiM754.
When adding an icon such as <i class="fa-light fa-envelope"></i> (the format which FontAwesome recommends), the icon's HTML disappears upon saving. We figured this was maybe due to the type of tag used (the i tag), so we tried using a div instead (<div class="fa-light fa-envelope"></div>). This div is not stripped from the HTML but the icon is not rendered.
Please allow inserting icons in the Editor content.
Please expose the ability to allow additional HTML attributes in the Editor content.
===ADMIN EDIT===
Provide support for:
- custom attributes for the Editor elements
- custom tags
The Editor currently supports only numeric ordered list. I'm looking for an option to add different types of ordered lists - roman and alphabetical.
Please add support for these types of ordered lists similiar to the KendoReact Editor.
Hello,
after selecting a block of text in your editor and perform some block operation (for instance - change font size, name, ..) the original selection is lost. Would it be possible to keep that selection please?
Very thanks.

I would like to use the Editor in a more compact matter in my application. The buttons and button groups must be small, and the margins and the paddings must be smaller as well.
The overall goal is to make the Editor take less amount of space in the UI.
An event that we can hook into so that we can take the (presumably) base64 encoded image (link), upload it somewhere, and then replace it with an image element set to the uploaded imaged file. Ideally, that would work for other content too.

Description :
When you click before the content in the Editor, the cursor should show up before the text. But, if a text was added programmatically, the cursor shows up after the added text instead.
To reproduce the problem :
1. Open this REPL example: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/cdYpPabd37jvK9jt23
2. Click the "Insert Inline Text" button.
3. Try to place the cursor in front of the editor content.
I have the following command
await _editorRef.ExecuteAsync(new HtmlCommandArgs("insertHtml", "<hr class='donotremove' />", false));
Currently, the <hr/> element is added but its class is stripped. This is not the case with other elements.
Reproduction: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/GRYyGUbH492QNMki44.
Please allow adding class to <hr/> elements, too.
Currently, our Editor component does not support a placeholder parameter. Having a placeholder parameter, similar to the Kendo UI Editor, would prove to be beneficial.
Hello,
We've come across a bug. It seems as whatever tool button(s) that should be selected is not shown correctly. It appears to show the previously selected.
Repro steps:
- Write two different formatted texts on separate lines in your Editor component.
- Move the cursor to the first line
- Move the cursor to the second line that has a different formatted text. Note that the tool button for the formatted text on the first line is shown as selected.
This should happen:
Is this an intended behaviour? Our users are confused :)

It seems that texts/options in the Format tool dropdown are not part of the localization (Paragraph, Heading 1..6).
