If you want to customise how the Episerver editor works when copying and pasting content from MsWord within the TinyMCE editor, you will more likely find a useful answer by Googling for the term TinyMCE rather than Episerver editor. TinyMCE is a very widely adopted online text editor.
Within the CMS the WYSIWYG editor that is associated with this property is called TinyMCE. When working with rich content in Episerver you will be working with the XHTML property.

These hidden tags can break your responsive designs, it can make your content look funny and it can even make your pages load longer.Ĭreating some proclamation that content editors who use your Episerver powered website can not use Microsoft Word is unrealistic. In a word document where page load times are not important, this might be acceptable, however, on a website this is pants. When content is copied into Episerver like this, a number of hidden metadata tags and other crap will also be copied as well.

I tried many different ways of pulling and counting the visible characters but many of them were pretty inaccurate. It ended up pretty straight forward in the end. To do this I created a character count plugin. We only need to count the actual characters that the user sees, all html and hidden characters are ignored. This count is purely to keep the users from writing a book each time they enter data. We have a requirement that limits the users to 5000 characters per textarea field.
