GutenbergGutenberg The 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/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)
is currently the main focus for the testing group and it is the [new editing experience in WordPress](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/).
The goal of Gutenberg is to simplify the creation of rich pages and posts in WordPress
by replacing old custom HTMLHTML HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language.
It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites.,
CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. This is what controls the design
or look and feel of a site. and shortcodes with native Blocks.

or use the button above, and try testing any of the following things:

 1.  Change the overlay color on the Cover Image blockBlock Block 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.. ([10291](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10291))
 2.  Try changing the style variation and colors for pullquotes. ([9763](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/9763))
 3.  Edit a post already being edited by another user and check that post looking works
     as expected. ([4217](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/4217))
 4.  Align different blocks. Try on mobile. ([10085](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10085))
 5.  Turn on the option to skip the publish confirmation and check that posts publish
     immediately. ([9760](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/9760))
 6.  Exit the code editor using the link at top right. Try from different browser versions.(
     [10061](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10061))
 7.  Nest some bulleted list items and check that the indented ones are circles. ([10358](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10358))
 8.  Search for terms when adding categories. ([10138](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10138))

     too. ([10171](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10171))

 12. Paste content from Word or LibreOffice and check that unwanted style tags aren’t
     showing. ([10019](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10019))

     blocks. ([10008](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10008))
