I am making this WYSIWYG editor using JavaScript's execCommand and later I will be customizing it. But I am having a problem. First of all here is the codepen.io link of my problem: https://codepen.iο/pankaj260/pen/BGJaWJ?editors=1010. And below is all the details of the problem.
Take this example string "pankaj is not feeling well".
Now if you see my JavaScript code I have used odd even concept to show bold button is active/inactive. And another if statement if the selected text is to be bolden and I don't increment my boldCounter variable(please see my javascript code). Now if I paste my example string in contenteditable div. Following happens.
If I select text "pankaj" press bold button it makes it bold and bold button does not get yellow (great, awesome).
Now without selecting any text if I press bold button the button turn yellow and if I write anything after "well" word it gets written in Bold (again awesome) and after writing some bold content I again press bold button the colour of button changes to white and if I write any thing onwards everything gets written in normal font.
But if I select last word of my example string and press bold button it does make the last word bold i.e "well". But the color of the button does not change to yellow. And everything gets written in Bold. So now if I want to stop bolding it I again press bold button, now color changes to yellow but fonts are normal fonts. And from here things get messed up.
I want my bold button to work like pell

well it sort of is. You are just holding a boolean, but that boolean has no relationship to the text you are on top of. So your logic is flawed since you have no clue if it is bold or not. You just assume it is not.

You can't use a simple counter for this since you can bold different parts of the text. You need to analyze if your text selection is contained in a<b>tag.
