@sanity/block-tools — <span>s with only whitespace are removed #6848
Description
When I have a text block that contains spans with only whitespace inside of them, that whitespace does not get carried over into the portable text output of htmlToBlocks().
To Reproduce
In your browser console:
const { htmlToBlocks } = await import('https://esm.sh/@sanity/block-tools@3.42.1')
const { Schema } = await import ('https://esm.sh/@sanity/schema@3.42.1')
const blockType = Schema.compile({
types: [
{
type: 'array',
of: [{type: 'block'}]
}
]
}).get()
htmlToBlocks("a b", blockType) // portable text “ab”Expected behavior
The whitespace should be preserved. The workaround I'm using is:
htmlToBlocks("a<span> </span>b", blockType, {
rules: [
{
deserialize: (e, next, block) => {
if (e.localName === 'span' && e.textContent && !e.textContent.trim())
return { _type: 'span', marks: [], text: ' ' }
}
}
]
}) // portable text “a b”
