How to insert single characters (or string) in editor.

[Mikkel]

Hi,

I need to insert single characters programmatically into an editor (use case symbol selector for special characters).

Using the insertHTML API I can insert the right character, but the character/string is inserted outside the existing text-span's in the editor.
Same result when using the 'paste' API.

Since the character is *not* inserted inside the span of the existing text, it will be using the default formatting, and not the formatting of the text next to it.

Example: "ABC" is entered into the editor, the font-size is set to a non-default size.  If a character is inserted using insertHTML or paste after the "ABC", it will be using the default font-size, not the size of the text next to it.

Is there a way to insert a character or string into the current text-span so formatting can be preserved ?

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Adding "split: false" to the insertHTML call made the difference.
