I’m developing a web application with article pages and am struggling with how to organize HTML tags such as <h1>
, <h2>
, <ul>
, etc. I want to create a system that allows writers to format articles easily without needing to understand HTML.
I initially attempted to use regex to replace custom markers in the text with corresponding HTML tags. Here’s what I tried:
loadArticlePage: (id) => {
return `${articleData.content
.replace(/{{{{{([^}]+)}}}}/g, "<h4>$1</h4>")
.replace(/{{{{([^}]+)}}}}/g, "<h3>$1</h3>")
.replace(/{{{([^}]+)}}}/g, "<h2>$1</h2>")
.replace(/(((([^)]+))))/g, "<p>$1</p>")
}
</div>
</div>`
;
However, this approach seems complicated for the article writers to use effectively. What is a better way to organize these HTML tags or a more user-friendly method for writers to format articles in the application? Any suggestions or best practices would be greatly appreciated!
I tried using a series of regular expressions to replace custom markers in the article content with HTML tags. My goal was to allow writers to use a simple markup format that would be converted into the correct HTML.
