<p>Over the years, many of you have asked us to introduce Rich Text Editing capabilities within the XtraGrid Suite for WinForms. </p>
<p>The good news is that we snuck this feature into DXperience v2009
vol 1.3 (the bad news is that none of us blogged about it)</p>
<p>If you've not yet had the opportunity to review its capabilities,
feel free to kick it around and as always provide us with feedback and
let us know if it will address your business requirements.</p>

<div class="CommentText"><p>One
benefit of RTF over HTML (unless I'm unaware) is that RTF allows you to
embed images, while HTML can only link to a file that has to sit
somewhere else.</p>
<p>When sharing user-entered content on a website, then, RTF is better
at handling images since it's self-contained. A link to an image
one user enters may not work for another user in HTML.</p>

<div class="CommentText"><p>Thank's Ray for making RTF editing happen in the Grid.</p>
<p>@James:</p>
<p>I do not agree with you. RTF is very good.</p>
<p>If you were to follow your reasoning to the end, you would be typing
your e-mails or documents in Adobe Dreamweaver or similar software.</p>
<p>But most of the time regular Windows users type their documents in
Word (or OpenOffice or whatever) and do not care what the underlying
format is (docx, txt, html, rtf, etc.).</p>
<p>And I have a very silly question : For which browser should the to-be DevExpress HTML editor be best adjusted ?</p>
<p>Possible answers: IE (5,6,7,8,...), Opera, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. select one.</p>
<p>Each of these browsers renders pages differently. Then there is CSS, user preferences (colors, fonts), etc.</p>
<p>As a side note, XML might be a better format than HTML, but I am
pretty sure that an RTF to XML converter is technically feasable
without too much costs.</p>

James - You may want to check out the other post titled 'Silverlight
and WinForms Rich Text Editor (RTF) Control ' which states that both
HTML import and export are slated for 9.2. I would imagine that
this will be rolled into the RepositoryEdit as well.</p>

agree with James. Because most of my uses for an editor like this
involve Outlook 2007 Email, RTF is of no use to me. (It does look nice
