TinyMCE public methods to parse HTML like paste plugin in other editor

Question

I have two editors in my application. One is tinyMCE and other is different one. Is there any tinyMCE public methods that I can use to filter html tags and css that I can use for other editor.

pasteRetainStyleProperties = ['font-weight', 'font-style', 'font-size'];
pasteValidElements = ['b', 'strong', 'i', 'em'];

This is similar to the tinyMCE 4 feature. However I have to filter HTML string in the similar way. I am trying to build this for other editor. Hence I am wondering instead of building it from scratch is there any tinyMCE methods that I can use outside tinyMCE. Or any other 3rd party library help me achieve the same.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Shridhar

I believe, TinyMCE 5 has almost exactly the same options as that you've mentioned in the code block:

• paste_retain_style_properties
• paste_word_valid_elements

However, all the settings, defined in the tinymce.init() function cannot be changed without reinitialization. Reinitialization can be done very fast. You will need to perform 4 steps:

1. Save current content somewhere with getContent()
2. Destroy the TinyMCE instance withdestroy()
3. Reinitialize
4. Use setContent() to add the content saved on step 1.
