Can't pass html into tinymce editor

Question

I have saved raw html content into my database And I will like to load them into my tinymce editor so that users can just edit the content and submit again. Below is the form;

 <textarea id="postfullOnEditPop" type="text" class="validate" placeholder="Enter full post here" required>
 </textarea>

I tried to pass the content into TinyMCE like this;

tinymce.get('postfullOnEditPop').setContent(postfull);

but I get raw html tags instead of formatted text in the TinyMCE editor

Please does anyone knows what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try: tinymce.get('postfullOnEditPop').setContent(postfull, {format: 'raw'});

The API isn't super helpful here, unfortunately.
