rte.exec results do not reflect in finalHtml

[mihir-khandekar]

Hello,

I am trying to insert ordered list into the current selected component using the following code.

const rte = editor.RichTextEditor.initRte(editor.getSelected().view.el);
rte.exec('insertOrderedList');

Although, this does work and the list gets created, when is extract the HTML using editor.getHtml(), the list is missing and instead I get a regular <p> tag in its place.

Even tried adding this editor.getSelected().trigger('sync:content'); after the rte.exec() command but to no avail.

Also, is this also a valid option?

editor.Canvas.getDocument().execCommand('insertOrderedList');

Please help.

@artf your guidance will be very helpful.

Use the Component API instead of the RTE to update the selected component.

the component API doesn't work either. on extracting HTML for components added through the component API, the order of these components in the HTML is messed up. What could be the reason?
