Where can I find documentation about the editor APIs?

I want to apply styles to text but I couldn’t find the API that handles it.
Thanks.

If your goal is to apply styles to field contents, AFAIK there is no dedicated API for that.

Here is an example of how I went about changing the directionality of selected text in one of my add-ons:

abdnh/anki-bidi-tools/blob/f3fdb53668987f8fddb685dd013f8a5d8c86056c/src/bidi.js#L46


      
          ];
          
          
function BidiToolsElementIsBlock(element) {
              return BLOCK_ELEMENTS.includes(element.tagName);
          }
          
          
function BidiToolsNodeIsElement(node) {
              return node.nodeType === Node.ELEMENT_NODE;
          }
          
          
function BidiToolsSetInlineDir(dir) {
              const currentField = document.activeElement.shadowRoot;
              let selection = currentField.getSelection();
              let anchor = selection.anchorNode;
              let element = anchor;
              // Find deepest inline element that contains the anchor and change its direction
              if (BidiToolsNodeIsElement(element) && !BidiToolsElementIsBlock(element) && element.tagName !== "ANKI-EDITABLE") {
                  element.dir = dir;
              }
              else {
                  // Add a new element otherwise
