Hi! I'm unable to get anything whitelisted in wagtail's rich text thing. Tried this and their doc's example and no luck. Wagtail 1.13/Django 1.11.6/Python 3.6.2

Note that this code, as it is, will break if the HTML under edit has a <textarea> within it. To solve this, escape the data from widget.options.editable.element.html() before slotting it between the textarea tags, or let jQuery do it for you.

Something like this:

          var editor = $('<textarea id="wagtail-edit-html-content"></textarea>');
          editor.text(widget.options.editable.element.html());
          var save_button = '<button id="wagtail-edit-html-save" type="button">Save</button>';
          // Stick the editor and save button into the modal body, then show the container.
          modalBody.append(editor).append(save_button);
