Get contents from Kendo Editor in rich text format

Question

I am trying to send data from the kendo editor in an email but the email is displaying html tags. I believe the editor's content is Html, thus, by design its value() method also returns Html. I am struggling to figure out how to get the text from the value.

In my function, I am sending the data like this: "emailmessagehtml": $("#editor").val(), But this is displaying all the html tags in the email.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction to display the rich text content in the email.

Many thanks

Try to use the encodedValue() instead.

var editor = $("#editor").data("kendoEditor");
var content = editor.encodedValue();

Documentation

Check also https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/editor/configuration/encoded

$("#editor").kendoEditor({
  value: "<p>foo</p>",
  encoded: false
});

encoded Indicates whether the Editor should submit encoded HTML tags. By default, the submitted value is encoded.
