Support for HTML tags?

[marko-stimac]

If I have a column value Lorem ipsum and I change that into <a href="#">Lorem</a> ipsum <em>dolor</em> sit amet the text will be updated but with stripped html. Is it possible to have the HTML intact?
I am not sure if this is WP DB Table Editor's issue or Slick does it?

I was thinking about recreating shortcuts for HTML tags like we can do in WordPress. When I select a part of text and press CTRL+i the text should change from Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet to Lorem ipsum <em>dolor</em> sit amet.
The following code is maybe a mess but it works for surrounding text with italics.

// The popup editor doesn't exist in DOM unless user triggers editing process,
// and those divs don't even have any ID or class on them this is an improvisation to target it
jQuery("html").on("click", function() {
  jQuery("body > div > textarea").on("keydown", function(e) {
    var textarea = jQuery(this);

    if (e.ctrlKey && e.key == "i") {
      // get length of text
      var length = textarea.val().length;
      // starting text
      var start_point = textarea[0].selectionStart;
      // ending text
      var end_point = textarea[0].selectionEnd;

      // get selected text
      var selectedText = jQuery(this)
        .val()
        .substring(start_point, end_point);
      var replacement = "<em>" + selectedText + "</em>";
      // Replace text
      textarea.val(
        textarea.val().substring(0, start_point) +
          replacement +
          textarea.val().substring(end_point, length)
      );

      // Since there is a bug with double inserting <em></em>, remove those empty ones :)
      var newText = textarea.val().replace("<em></em>", "");
      textarea.val(newText);
    }
  });
});

I guess I never saw this... not sure where the tags would be being stripped. I'll try and take a look at it soon
