Underline style is removed after converting HTML to DraftJS Editor content

[vkolova]

Let's say I pass this HTML:
<p><u>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</u></p>

When I convert it to DraftJS content and set it as editor state, the editor shows no trace of any underlined text. I checked if the issue is possibly with the package that I use to convert back to HTML string, but it doesn't seems like it.

Here's what I do:

`

setEditorState = (slide = this.props.editor.slide) => {
    const blocksFromHTML = htmlToDraft(slide.text.text || '');

    const state = blocksFromHTML.contentBlocks
        ? EditorState.createWithContent(
            ContentState.createFromBlockArray(
                blocksFromHTML.contentBlocks,
                blocksFromHTML.entityMap
            )
        )
        : createEditorStateWithText('');

    return state;
};

`

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug with the package?

Anyone?

Hey,

I wondered the same, apparently, it is "ins" in this context, not "u". And b is strong.
It is beyond me why any of these converter libraries don't support all of the tags, even the most common ones.

Any solution? I would like for to not be stripped away. And its definitely because of the ins/u issue as if I use <ins> then underlines are maintained

[gigiskarlett]

Same for me the package converts the ins to just a span without the underline. Any solutions?

This is a pretty old issue. any update on this one ?

here i find the solution of this problem:-
use different converter -> import { convertFromHTML } from "draft-js instead of htmlToDraft

Example:-

let markup = "<p><u>Amit Mathur</u></p>"; const contentBlock = convertFromHTML(editorData); if (contentBlock) { const contentState = ContentState.createFromBlockArray( contentBlock.contentBlocks, contentBlock.entityMap ); setEditorState(() => EditorState.createWithContent(contentState)); }

My issue is resolved,hope your also by doing this
Thanks
