Description

Let's say I pass this HTML:
<p><u>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</u></p>

When I convert it to DraftJS content and set it as editor state, the editor shows no trace of any underlined text. I checked if the issue is possibly with the package that I use to convert back to HTML string, but it doesn't seems like it.

Here's what I do:

`

setEditorState = (slide = this.props.editor.slide) => {
    const blocksFromHTML = htmlToDraft(slide.text.text || '');

    const state = blocksFromHTML.contentBlocks
        ? EditorState.createWithContent(
            ContentState.createFromBlockArray(
                blocksFromHTML.contentBlocks,
                blocksFromHTML.entityMap
            )
        )
        : createEditorStateWithText('');

    return state;
};

`

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug with the package?
