Display and Edit Gutenberg Core Blocks in Etch

This includes:​

  • displaying blocks added from Gutenberg
  • adding new blocks directly from the Etch Inserter dialog
  • formatting blocks via keyboard shortcuts (standard rich text operations including linking to WordPress posts)
  • displaying the tag associated with the block in the structure panel (where applicable)
  • displaying editable fields in the element settings panel for core blocks (where applicable)

Supported flows for passthrough blocks​

  1. Used directly in the page/post
  2. Used within slots inside components in a page/post

Unsupported flows for passthrough blocks​

  1. Used inside component, not in slot (not supported by Etch therefore not supported by EE)
  2. Used in default slot content within slots.name.empty condition (not supported by Etch therefore not supported by EE)
  3. Used in loop or condition blocks (not supported by Etch therefore not supported by EE)
  4. Used inside component, in slot in nested component (not currently supported by EE, EE will display this as read-only placeholder but it can cause issues with displaying correct block content for other passthrough blocks therefore it is not recommended - when the new Etch APIs we requested have been released this should be fully supported)
