PaddingAction Class

Definition

Namespace:Avalonia.Controls.Documents.Primitives.Actions

Assembly:Avalonia.Controls.RichTextEditor

Package:Avalonia.Controls.RichTextEditor

Action for setting uniform padding on block elements (Paragraph, Section, etc.).

public class PaddingAction

Inheritance: BlockPropertyAction<Thickness> -> PaddingAction

Remarks

Padding controls the spacing inside the block element's border, between the border and the content. This action sets uniform padding on all four sides.

Common padding values:

• 0 - No padding (content touches border)
• 5 - Minimal internal spacing
• 10 - Comfortable reading space
• 15 - Generous internal spacing
• 20 - Large padding for callout boxes

Padding is particularly useful when combined with borders or backgrounds to create visually distinct blocks like quotes, code blocks, or callouts.

When applied to a selection spanning multiple paragraphs, all affected paragraphs will have their padding set to the specified value.

Note: This action sets uniform padding only. For non-uniform padding (different values for each side), use a dedicated padding editor panel.
