How to get Google Apps Script to tell Google Docs to bold, italic, strikethrough and underline from a JSON representation?

0

I have written a function, setParagraphToRichText which accepts a GoogleAppsScript.Document.Paragraph and a string. The string is a stringified JSON blob that defines the text and attributes of a given paragraph.

/**
 *
 *
 * @param {GoogleAppsScript.Document.Paragraph} paragraph
 * @param {string} jsonString
 */
function setParagraphToRichText(paragraph, jsonString) {
  const text = paragraph.editAsText();

Turns out it was a typo. So not Google's fault but mine. Sigh. Old and decrepit much.
