Good to have you here. This is a place for discussion and questions around the Wordgard editor system. Please be constructive and civil. When asking a question, do your research (look at the docs) first, and formulate … --- ## [About the General category](https://discuss.wordgard.net/t/about-the-general-category/3)

I’ve just tagged a rather big release. It consists of a ton of bug fixes, some API churn where new insights caused me to rename or adjust some things, and a bunch of new features: New RangeSet and PointSet implementati… --- ## [Can panels and dialogs be more flexible?](https://discuss.wordgard.net/t/can-panels-and-dialogs-be-more-flexible/33)

For panels, the docs state: Panels are interface elements displayed above or below the editor. They use sticky positioning to stay in view even when the editor is partially scrolled out of view.

I’m curious how suitable is Wordgard’s architecture for implementing virtualized (windowed) editor area. The ability to only mount in DOM the elements that are visible in viewport is useful with very large documents and … --- ## [SumTree optimization](https://discuss.wordgard.net/t/sumtree-optimization/38)

Would you be interested in implementing a SumTree for Plot so that insertions are O(log n) instead of O(n)? It would also enable rendering optimizations that are summable like line and column numbers. You could even expo… --- ## [Cursor positions on inline block boundaries](https://discuss.wordgard.net/t/cursor-positions-on-inline-block-boundaries/37)

The idea is for Wordgard to properly support plots (nodes with content) that are inline. ProseMirror mostly punted on these—you can define them, but because the library just interprets native editing behavior, and native… --- ## [Marks applied to inserted text on mark boundaries](https://discuss.wordgard.net/t/marks-applied-to-inserted-text-on-mark-boundaries/34)

I’m opening this thread to solicit feedback, discussion, and links to related work regarding the question of what marks text inserted between content with different sets of marks should get.

Hi, Are there any plans to support vertical writing modes in Wordgard? Japanese and other CJK text is commonly laid out with CSS writing-mode: vertical-rl.

I noticed your’re working on collaborative editing using operational transforms.

Hi all. I just published a new example—a footnote editor (port of the similar example in ProseMirror).

Hello @marijn. Fantastic work as always with this new library! I have a document model that I’d like to two-way bind to Wordgard’s and I’m wondering if it’s possible.

I noticed a badge at the bottom of the site indicating that the current website (and perhaps the repository?) contains 0% AI.

A comparison table on your website comparing features and capability of Prosemirror, Wordgard, Lexical and other open-source editors would be helpful for people assessing the editor landscape in 2026. --- ## [wordgard-markdown ? ](https://discuss.wordgard.net/t/wordgard-markdown/16)

I see there is already Angular support, which is awesome! I work on a project that requires rendering angular components inside the editor. Currently can we achieve that with ngx-tiptap.
