JSX syntax for CKEditor 5 converters - an experiment

JSX syntax for CKEditor 5 converters - an experiment

The content in the CKEditor 5 is represented by a custom data model. It provides a layer of abstraction over the HTML data that is used to store the content (the data view). To translate the model representation to the target data format (in most cases HTML), the developer must provide a set of converters.

Student information systems help guide students by communicating vital information.

The shape of things to come: student information systems edition

A student information system’s chief goal is to aid school communication of news and announcements between students, teachers, parents, faculty, and staff. So what, then, is effective school communication?

It is such a useful solution that an initiative to include this mechanism in browsers has already appeared. However, it seems quite dead as, unfortunately, no progress has been made since August 2017.
