(question received by mail - response through the forum)

We use the SimpleHTMLEditor (Quill-version) in many places and are actually quite happy with the functionality.

Unfortunately, there is an ugly discrepancy between the text displayed in the editor and the display in a TextPane or also with "DirectHtmlInset": There, a line spacing is inserted before each "<p>", which is not visible in the editor.

Only the editor always wraps p-tags around text... so you never get what you expected.

The Quill Editor internall uses some own style sheet for rendering the text that is edited:

Code:

 eclnt/risc/ext_quill/quill136/quill.snow.css

So you need to take over the style sheet into your dialog and render the content using the same style-environment.

Luckily Quill keeps all its style classes in super-separated namespaces so it is not a problem to integrated this into CaptainCasa dialogs.

The way to go is:

1. Integrate the Quill-style sheet into the CaptainCasa dialogs. This is done through system.xml:

Code:

 <system>
     ...
     <riscclientstyle src="eclnt/risc/ext_quill/quill136/quill.snow.css"/> 
     ...
 </system>

2. Before taking over the text into e.g. a TEXTPANE with CONTENTTYPE "text/html" do:

Code:

         m_htmlDisplayText =
             "<div class='ql-editor'>" + 
             m_htmlEditText +
             "</div>";

Now the text is using the style definitions from the Quill editor.

Kind regards! Björn
