NullReferenceException is thrown when the "var" CSS function is used in the HTML on HtmlFormatProvider Import method call.
The exception occurs only for CSS properties processed by RadRichTextBox. For example: "vertical-align", "font-family", "font-weight", "text-decoration-underline", etc.
The following HTML produces such error:
<span style="vertical-align: var(--my-variable);">
</span>
If the span tag doesn't have any content, the error doesn't occur.
The exception stacktrace is:

To work this around, avoid using the "var" function in the CSS.
