Extended Text Formatting

A Silverlight Rich Text Editor must provide text formatting capabilities that effectively address customer requirements. The DXRichEdit Suite for Silverlight ships with the following text formatting options:

Character Formatting

Characters can be formatted using different settings for font, font size, character style - bold, italics, underlined, strike-through style and different colors for background and foreground.

Paragraph Formatting

Formatting options for paragraphs include alignment, indentation, variable paragraph and line spacing.

Lists

DXRichEdit supports bulleted, numbered and mixed lists.

Styles

Document formatting can be stored and applied by using styles. Styles facilitate quick modification of a document’s formatting and allow centralized control of formatting options. The editor supports both paragraph and character based styles, as well as multiple style inheritance. Stylesheets are compatible with MS Word.

Syntax Highlighting

You can apply custom formatting on-the-fly to different categories of terms in the text of a document. To parse text you can use DevExpress CodeParser library or a custom text parser.
