How to "replaceWith" on plain text, which is not a DOM Elements? #3411

I have the following DIV that needs some replaces:

const html = `Lorem Ipsum dolores`;
const $ = cheerio.load(html, null, false);

This loads the string without wrapping the text into <html><body>, which must be avoided in my case.

I want to do a replacement on "Ipsum" to replace it with a DOM element, like an <a>-Element.
After that, I want to replace other words as well with related DOM-elements, but never ever touch already replaced words again.

Which filter gives me this feature to work with replaceWith?

hi there,
I'm relatively new to this project, so please correct me if I'm mistaken.
So the issue you facing is:-
You want to replace specific words in an HTML string with DOM elements (e.g., replacing "Ipsum" with an element), but you also want to ensure that once a word has been replaced, it won't be replaced again

Can you tell me in which file this issue occurs.

Yes, lets say I get an article from a CMS, it can contain HTML like a-links or divs or span-elements or nothing at all.
I want to replace specific words or word groups to with specific <a>-elements to deep link into other articles. No matter, if this word is part of a span-element or a div or a p-element or plain text which is not at all encapsulated within an HTML tag. But i this word is part of an a-element, it should not be replaced again as it is already a link.
