Out of about 6 HTML Editors, I choose to evaluate summernote first. I slammed straight into this bug. I tried several workarounds. This is the sort of problem that you would expect to see in an alpha release; not something that appears somewhat mature. So I jumped over to https://quilljs.com/ and go it working and integrated in no time at all.

The method suggested by a few including neil-viralmd and Budsy didn’t work for me, but I got it to work this way:

$("#summernote").summernote("code", htmlString);
