When images are pasted from a clipboard into MAUI RichTextEditor on iOS/macOS then they're added to the html as series of entries like this:
<img src="blob:null/xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx">How to get a real content of these images?
Or maybe there's a way for forcing embedding these images as a `data:image/...,base64` as on Android?

Hi Raymond,
You can get the content of the HTML in the RichTextEditor by using the GetHtmlAsync() method. Here are more details: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/controls/richtexteditor/configuration#retrieving-html-content
This is the option we can suggest.

HI Didi,
I think that your misunderstood my question.
The problem is that in a HTML returned by GetHtmlAsync() all images pasted from clipboard on iO/macOS are represented as <img src="blob:null/" making this HTML useless as it refers to internal WebView objects.
If you'll try to display this HTML again in you RichTextEditor then you'll not see images.
In order to fix it, we need to replace all <img src="blob:null/" ..../> with some real links, ie <img src="data:image/...,base64 .../> like on Android.
My question is: how we can get actual content of image represented by <img src="blob:null/" ..../>?
Hi Raymond,
I have reviewed the case with the development team and I have logged the behavior as a feature request on your behalf here: https://feedback.telerik.com/maui/1639536-richtexteditor-provide-an-option-to-paste-images-copied-outside-the-editor
Actually this is a missing feature in the control. On WinUI you cannot paste the image outside of the editor. On Mac you do not have a valid source.
