how to import HTML into a RichTextField?

[mjmare]

I see in the docs (https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/extending/rich_text_internals.html) that the rich text field has its own data format. What is the Wagtail way to import HTML into a Richtext field?

TIA

It's mostly HTML, this section of that page is more helpful.

https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/extending/rich_text_internals.html#data-format

Links and images will be the most different, along with some html simply not supported (such as IFrame/script).

What kind of content is your source?

The source is from a Django Summernote (https://github.com/summernote/django-summernote) field. The HTML shouldn't be too wild.
Being lazy, I was hoping for some method that would import regular HTML into the Richtext field...

Yeah, it's just a html string. Sorry that wasn't clear, just update it with the html from your source, do some testing, should get you close enough for something simple.

So maybe the images need some fiddling, but the rest should be OK. Thanks!
