How to insert markdown text when in WYSIWYG mode in v3?

How can you insert markdown text, like an image or code block, when in WYSYWYG mode? Calling editor.insertText() automatically escapes special characters.

For example: Calling editor.insertText('![alt](/shared/some-image.png)' results in !\[alt\](some-image.png) being added.

Prior to upgrading to v3 calling editor.insertText() would work the same in either mode, but now after upgrading to v3 I can’t figure out how to insert markdown text while in WYSIWYG mode.

Is there some alternative method I can use for inserting code blocks or images when in WYSIWYG mode, or some way to make editor.insertText() not escape special characters?

@rajtslegr @kevindesousa I’m sorry for the delay because I’m working on another project. I think I can make a work plan within this month. I’ll let you know if there’s anything to do!

@houkah26 When I checked, insertText API works the same as 2.x in WYSIWYG. Anyway, you want to insert some nodes like code block or image into WYSIWYG, right? Currently, there is no formal API for creating and inserting nodes in the specific position. However, the desired node can be inserted at the current cursor position using command API as below.

// insert code block
editor.exec('codeBlock');
// insert image node
editor.exec('addImage', {
  altText: 'mytext ()[]<>',
  imageUrl: 'https://picsum.photos/200'
});
