As we head towards the end of the year, two last projects surface as the culmination of the GutenbergGutenbergThe Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ Customization phase. If you are interested in contributing, or want to join the ongoing discussions, this post outlines what the main focuses are and the threads to follow.
⓵ Full Site Editing.
Over the past eight months activity has focused on refining the editor experience, converting widgets to blocks, defining block areas, creating a new navigation block, introducing global blocks like site title, and several new tools to improve the customization capabilities of blocks. The idea is for all these elements to come together in an editor mode that comprehends the full structure of a site, including its global elements and dynamic pages.
⓶ BlockBlockBlock is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. Patterns.
While blocks are powerful visual tools to achieve many different designs, it can take time and knowledge to combine them properly to achieve the most pleasing results. Since Gutenberg already supports block templates, it should be possible to offer users designs and patterns that are already assembled for them — made of various existing blocks — which users can then customize to their will with familiar tools. Part of this work includes exposing relevant APIs so these can be more easily developed and discovered.
