The editor in Leadtime is block-based.

Block-based editors offer a modern and flexible way of creating and organizing content that differs from traditional rich text editors. They are particularly common in content management systems, task management tools and collaborative platforms. These editors allow users to structure content in the form of blocks and offer numerous advantages.

Basic functionality

The editor in Leadtime breaks content down into individual blocks, each of which can have a specific function or display type. Examples of such blocks are

  • Text blocks: For inserting paragraphs, headings or quotations.
  • Media blocks: For adding images, videos, files or embedded media content.
  • List blocks: Unordered or numbered lists for structuring information.
  • Special blocks: Code blocks, tables or checklists for specific requirements.

The user can choose between different block types and arrange them flexibly. Each block can be edited separately, moved via drag and drop, deleted or formatted, which enables an intuitive and clear design of the content.
