Rich Text Fields

  • RichText fields are stored as html in the database. not as prosemirror trees anymore.
  • The ContextEditor only know about ProseMirror trees.
  • The “boundary” where HTML gets converted to a ProseMirror tree is in PubEditor.tsx, on the server. The PubEditor form handles ProseMirror trees, and sends that up to the server as well (this could be changed to send html instead, but that would require extra conversion logic on the server).
  • Most clients (like the site-building api) just work with html. they never need to know about ProseMirror. only the main app really needs to care about ProseMirror, and only for editing.
  • If you want to create new content, you can just send html. the server will check that it converts to a valid ProseMirror tree, and if so, it’ll store it as-is.
