contenteditable add bold, italic formatting options when text selected












0














I'm building an app using Ionic, and Angular.



I implemented a contenteditable div in my application expecting that when you select text that the bold, italic, and strike options appear natively.. however, it doesn't seem to.



The desired effect I'd want:



enter image description here



How do you get the "Bold", "Italic" options when you select text? Any ideas?



Do I have to build my own function for this?



Thank you.

          Looking at this, WhatsApp options for contenteditable text are not the defaults. I checked on gmail, twitter and other apps and they don't have bold and italic options, just CUT, COPY, PASTE, SHARE and PAST AS PLAIN TEXT, the same that I got when I try it on my Ionic applications. Also I checked on the Ionic documentation and I didn't find anything helpful for that. So I think that you will have to build your own function for this.

            Looking at this, WhatsApp options for contenteditable text are not the defaults. I checked on gmail, twitter and other apps and they don't have bold and italic options, just CUT, COPY, PASTE, SHARE and PAST AS PLAIN TEXT, the same that I got when I try it on my Ionic applications. Also I checked on the Ionic documentation and I didn't find anything helpful for that. So I think that you will have to build your own function for this.
