## Description

Paragraph Block Converter helps you convert blocks in the block editor (Gutenberg)
in the following ways:

#### Supported block types

 * **Paragraph** – convert to other block types (Heading, List, Quote, etc.) or 
   apply a pattern style
 * **Heading** – apply a pattern style while keeping the heading text
 * **List** (ordered and unordered) – apply a pattern style while keeping all list
   items (including nested lists)
 * **Table** – apply a pattern style while keeping all cell data
 * **List Item** – automatically detects the parent list and operates on the whole
   list

#### How it works

 * **Convert to other block types** (Paragraph only  Heading, List, Quote, Pullquote,
   Preformatted, Verse, Code)
 * **Apply a pattern style** – picks up colors, background, font size, border, CSS
   class, and other visual attributes from a pattern while **preserving your original
   text / data**
 * Available patterns: theme patterns and user patterns (synced patterns / `wp_block`)

You can convert from the sidebar panel and the toolbar popup. After converting, 
you can restore the previous block using **Undo conversion**.

## Installation

 1. Go to **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin** and upload the ZIP file.
 2. Click **Activate**.
 3. Open a post or page in the block editor, select a paragraph / heading / list / 
    table block, and convert it from the sidebar panel or the toolbar.

## FAQ

### Which patterns are shown?

Theme patterns (source = theme) and user patterns / synced patterns (`wp_block` 
post type) are listed. Core and third-party plugin patterns are excluded to keep
the list focused.

### Can I undo a conversion?

Yes. After converting, an **Undo conversion** button appears in both the toolbar
and the sidebar panel.

### Does applying a pattern overwrite my text?

No. When you apply a pattern, only the visual style (colors, font size, borders,
CSS class, etc.) is transferred. Your original text, list items, or table data are
preserved.
