We are in research for a controls which supports Track Changes features same as the track changes in MS Word.
Our application is developed in MVC and we are trying to get a Kendo UI control which supports Track Changes features. 

Our requirement details in brief:

- The control should be compatible with MVC architecture.
- It should support Text editor basic features.
- It should support Track Changes for any changes made by User in the text editor.
- It should keep the history of changes made by each Users who have changes the text for any purpose.
- Popup comments are required for each changes including text formatting such as (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough and ordered\unordered list).
- It should also have the functionalities for Undo-Redo changes and Accept/Reject changes.
- Features should be able to extent\customize using JQuery or other scripting methods.

The colour picker palette should be capable of accepting name value pairs. This way, the colours can be named or given a hint which shows as a tooltip to help users choose which colour to use. Very helpful when we allow users to create a list of colours which could be subtly different and only a hint would easily differentiate them.

We are using Kendo UI editor in our project and one of our requirement was to implement the inline comment feature. 

I have implemented a extension to Kendo editor using JS inbuild functions and CSS to create a Inline comments for any text in the editor.

User can select any text in the kendo editor and add review comments against it. Other user can see the comments, Reply to the comments or add, delete, edit their own comments.

User can clear all the comments on click of one button.

RE: Support ID:1010795 -- KendoUI Editor Stripping
Why does your editor control:
a. Strip whitespace?
b. Provide no way to change this behaviour with an option?

I think it is clear that this was a design/coding error on your part, so can you please rectify this please?

Sometimes it might be useful to move some tools to a new line inside the toolbox. This creates the possibility of having a better static arrangement of the tools.

Re-size/positioning of the table is very important which gives option for user to create table 

We'd like to give users the ability to insert hyperlinks in the editor. 

We have the restriction that instead of the default Kendo insert link dialog, we need to show a custom dialog. We effectively limit what the user is allowed to link to (a set of internal documents).

There's no easy way to achieve this functionality with the current API. We had to extend the create link tool ourselves to support this.

Thanks.

We have discovered an issue in the Editor around insertion of text using a custom button - it can be seen at http://dojo.telerik.com/EZijI

If you highlight text that is contained within a <span> tag, and use a custom button to insert more text (in this case, replacing the highlighted text), the text gets removed successfully, but the <span> gets closed, and the inserted text appears outside the closing </span> tag. 

Given that <span> tags can be used to format text, you therefore lose the formatting you had applied to the text you removed, and the new text appears unformatted i.e. inheriting formatting from the parent, which is not expected behaviour.

We have discovered an odd issue with the editor which can be seen here http://dojo.telerik.com/ijiRu.

Create a hyperlink in the editor then move the cursor to the start of the text and hit enter. A new line is created. Now when you view source you end up with 2 links instead of an empty paragraph.

<p><a href="http://google.com">&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href="http://google.com">google</a></p>

This can then lead to problems where multiple links are showing up where only 1 was created.

I use the Kendo Editor with inline mode. As soon as I paste some text from clipboard to the editor, the editor scrolls to the end. When the document ist very large, then you have to scroll back to the position where the cursor was located before pasting. Very difficult to work.

My client is working with a huge library of images and they requested a feature where they can arrange by the latest image upload.
Currently the Insert Image window allows me to arrange by name and size only.

Currently you can only set the width as a pixel value. I have users who would like to set the width as a percentage value. 

Add Link Tab to Image Editor

The idea is to add a link tab within the Image Editor that allows users to wrap the image with an href. This would cut out a step for people who want to add a link to images. (This functionality is available in the ckEditor)

Add an enable() method to Editor to enable/disable the editor widget.

The following link mentions how to disable the contenteditable, but this does not disable the toolbar: http://www.telerik.com/forums/disable-readonly-and-maxlength-for-kendoeditor

Something like:

function(enable) { 
                        $(this.body).attr("contenteditable", enable);
                        if (enable) {
                            this.toolbar.element.closest(".k-editor-toolbar-wrap").find(".k-disabled-overlay").remove();
                        } else {
                            this.toolbar.element.closest(".k-editor-toolbar-wrap").append("<div class='k-disabled-overlay'></div>");
                        }
                    }

In the editor, offer tools to collaborate on shaping text/content. This would include Word-like functionality to add notes/comments and use track changes with the ability to accept/reject notes, comments, and redlines.

it would be very nice if it can keep the original format including the color, size, indent, bullet and even image.

Currently you cannot rename a folder. If you can create and delete you should also be able to rename.

HTML5 now supports ruby annotations with the <ruby> tag set.  The Kendo editor should be updated to allow entering and rendering ruby as well as a feature to support vertical text with ruby as some languages should be displayed.

The images inside the editor Widget are resizable only when using Firefox. It would be great if the resize option for images is also available for other "big" browsers like Chrome, Safari and IE. I'm aware of the thread that says that only Firefox supports image resizing by default. This could be implemented independent of supporting it by browsers. Many other (opensource) editors like tinymce support that feature by default, that could be implement by Javascript instead of waiting for other browsers supporting it.

When using the image browser widget inside the Editor widget, there is a possibility to add extra headers to support the antiforgerytoken.
But inside the image browser, the upload widget is used, and there is no configuration possibility to add a header.
A way around is to intercept the upload call via javascript and to bind to the XMLHttpRequest object. With this we can add a header. But this doesn't work for example in IE9, because no XMLHttpRequest support.

        <textarea kendo-editor="editorWidget" k-ng-model="data.processModelHtml"
                  k-resizable="true"
                  k-tools="['bold','italic','underline','strikethrough','justifyLeft','justifyCenter','justifyRight','justifyFull','insertUnorderedList','insertOrderedList','indent','outdent','createLink','unlink','insertImage','subscript','superscript','createTable','addRowAbove','addRowBelow','addColumnLeft','addColumnRight','deleteRow','deleteColumn','viewHtml','formatting','cleanFormatting','fontName','fontSize','foreColor','backColor','print']"
                  k-image-browser="{ messages: { dropfileshere: 'Drop files here' }, transport: { read: { url:'api/imageapi/getimages', dataType: 'json', headers: { 'RequestVerificationToken': '@Html.RequestVerificationToken()' } }, destroy: { url: 'api/imageapi/deleteimage' , type: 'DELETE', dataType: 'json', headers: { 'RequestVerificationToken' : '@Html.RequestVerificationToken()' } }, create: { url: 'api/imageapi/addimagefolder', type: 'POST', dataType: 'json', headers: { 'RequestVerificationToken' : '@Html.RequestVerificationToken()' } }, thumbnailUrl: 'api/imageapi/getthumbnailimage', uploadUrl: 'api/imageapi/addimage', imageUrl: 'api/imageapi/getimage?path={0}' } }"></textarea>

==> not only uploadUrl parameter, but the same configuration mechanisme like for the transport read, delete, ...
