text in html that does is not inside a tag is lost in conversion

[tes735]

It could be that I'm doing it wrong, but... here is the scenario:

I'm starting with html like the following:

<div>
<h1>whatever</h1>
text by itself
<span>more stuff</span>
</div>

Then I run htmlToSlate on it before adding it to the data for the slate editor. When I convert this htmlToSlate, the "text by itself" is lost. I can see when logging that it's not part of the "elements" after conversion unless I wrap that line in a div or something. Is there a trick to get this to work, or is it a bug? Thanks!

P. S. This is for a project where there are many instances of this so I don't have control over the data to fix it there.

I think I, at least, found WHERE the issue might be, and it doesn't appear to be related to your code. The Slate docs have the following snippit. Note my comment. Closing.

export const resetNodes = ( editor: Editor, options: { nodes?: Node | Node[]; at?: Location; } = {} ): void => { const children = [...editor.children]; children.forEach(node => editor.apply({ type: 'remove_node', path: [0], node }));

if (options.nodes) { const nodes = Node.isNode(options.nodes) ? [options.nodes] : options.nodes; /**

• I think it might be this issue here. We need to be going deeper into the tree? We can have a node with an array in it, and some of those

• might have arrays in them. editor.apply is not getting everything from those arrays, only some things. */ nodes.forEach((node, i) => { editor.apply({ type: 'insert_node', path: [i], node: node }); }); }

  const point = options.at && Point.isPoint(options.at) ? options.at : Editor.end(editor, []); if (point) { Transforms.select(editor, point); } };
