Format markdown on `editor.setText('# hello world')` #75

vadimkantorov · 2023-12-12T17:04:01Z

How can I trigger text format if I set my editor's text from some external string containing markdown (essentially loaded from some GitHub repo's README.md)?

Pasting the same text # hello world formats it correctly (and I saw that format-at-paste is supported: #23), but when I just do editor.setText('# hello world') no formatting happens

Thanks :)

<html>
    <body>
        <head>
            <link href="https://cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.7/quill.snow.css" rel="stylesheet" />
            <script src="https://cdn.quilljs.com/1.3.7/quill.js"></script>
            <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quilljs-markdown@latest/dist/quilljs-markdown-common-style.css" />
            <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quilljs-markdown@latest/dist/quilljs-markdown.js"></script>
        </head>

        <div id="editor"></div>
        <script>
            const editor = new Quill('#editor', { theme: 'snow' });
            const editor_markdown = new QuillMarkdown(editor);

            editor.setText('# hello world\n hello');
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I would like to throw in my support for this. Quill markdown understands my formatting needs, and trying to wedge it in with TurndownService and Markedjs is blowing my mind.
I attempted a workaround by populating the Quill Editor with a pseudo paste, but I think browser security is beating me to the punch here.
