Not displaying any text wrapped in <ul> element

[mikedino]

Implementing on an existing application with old entries, we have many with <ul> elements. These entries are not displaying in the editor.

HTML: Testing text before tag\n<ul>\n<li>Here is older entry\n<li>Bullet 2\n<li>Bullet 3\n</ul>

Rendered:

Edit Form:

If I manually change the HTML and replace <ul> with <ol>, the edit form will show the text

HTML (mod): Testing text before tag\n<ol>\n<li>Here is older entry\n<li>Bullet 2\n<li>Bullet 3\n</ol>

V2 now uses ordered lists for all list types (https://quilljs.com/docs/upgrading-to-2-0#parchment). If you want an ordered list ensure the list items have the attribute data-list="ordered" and for unordered lists, ensure list items have the attribute data-list="bullet". For example:

<!-- ordered list -->
<ol>
  <li data-list="ordered">1</li>
  <li data-list="ordered">2</li>
  <li data-list="ordered">3</li>
</ol>
<!-- unordered list -->
<ol>
  <li data-list="bullet">a</li>
  <li data-list="bullet">b</li>
  <li data-list="bullet">c</li>
</ol>

I understand that. I'm asking why this doesn't allow for backfitting existing solutions. I have tables with thousands and thousands of records. You're saying I have to go carefully modify the html in every record? That's not a viable solution.

Ah so if you feed your HTML using the clipboard convert function it should transform your semantic HTML (<ul>,<ol>) into quill's <ol> lists. For example:

this.quill.setContents(this.quill.clipboard.convert({
  html: htmlStr
}), 'silent')

and to get it out to your own semantic HTML

this.quill.getSemanticHTML()
