Save Rich Text into a Collection

I’m trying to create an html string and save it into a collection to display on a dynamic page.

I have:

text =

wixData . get ( “CourseList” , listItems [ x ]. _id )
. then (( item ) => {
item . train = t ext ; // train is a rich text field in the collection
wixData . update ( “CourseList” , item );
})
. catch (( err ) => {
console . log ( err );
});

But the field in the collection has an error because it doesn’t convert the string to rich text. I might be going about this all wrong… any help would be appreciated.

Alternatively, I could save the html as a string in the collection, but then how do I display as html in a repeater? I’ve tried the following, but it doesn’t work.

import wixData from ‘wix-data’ ;

$w . onReady ( async function () {

$w ( "#courseRepeater" ). onItemReady (( $item ,  itemData ,  index ) => { 
    $item ( "#courseImage" ). src  =  itemData . image ; 
    $item ( "#courseImage" ). alt  =  itemData . imageAltText ; 
    $item ( "#titleText" ). text  =  itemData . title ; 
    $item ( "#summaryText" ). html  =  itemData . shortDescription ; 
    **$item** **(** **"#timesText"** **).** **html**  **=**  **itemData** **.** **train** **; // train is a text field with html formatting** 
}); 

wixData . query ( "CourseList" ) 
    . contains ( "category" ,  "k12" ) 
    . ascending ( "title" ) 
    . find () 
    . then (( results ) => { 
        **if**  ( results . totalCount  >  0 ) { 
            $w ( "#courseRepeater" ). data  =  results . items ; 
        } 
    }) 
    . **catch** (( error ) => { 
        console . log ( "Error:" ,  error . message ); 
    });

})
