A long needed move in the right direction

    I’ve had to twist and tweak shortcake, page builders, and tinymce customization for so many sites. I’m thrilled to see this much needed innovation. My principal question so far is why it is being accomplished with a slew of inline comments rather than using html elements with data attributes. The result would be usable html rather than a dependency on the Gutenberg overlay.

    @natejacobson thank you for the review, every review matters as it’s valueable insight. I wanted to just note that the comments aren’t output on the front. In simple terms it’s the way of saying to Gutenberg “hey output this type right here”. Does that change your view on comments?

    That’s certainly better than the alternative, @karmatosed. Thanks for pointing that out. I was concerned about lock-in if too much of the formatting of an article’s parts resides in the comments, but as I look at it now, it appears that the HTML structure is also in place. So, yeah, it seems my concern may be unfounded.

    To boot, the UI has been improving leaps and bounds with each update. I’m really impressed.
