- Remove .insertr-default-style special styling (blue background, border, dot indicator)
- Make ALL buttons use .insertr-style-preview with unified appearance
- Maintain authentic style previews in isolated .insertr-style-sample layer
- Bold buttons show bold text, .brand buttons show green uppercase text, etc.
- Eliminate visual inconsistency between semantic and detected style buttons
- Simplify CSS by removing ~50 lines of duplicate button styling
- Provide consistent professional toolbar appearance across all formatting options
- Add button frame isolation layer to prevent site CSS from affecting toolbar appearance
- Create style sample container for authentic style previews without layout interference
- Update CSS with proper containment boundaries and !important rules for button structure
- Preserve all authentic styling (color, weight, transform, decoration) in isolated preview
- Fix inconsistent button appearance across different site stylesheets (e.g. .brand class)
- Maintain professional toolbar UX while showing accurate style previews
Multi-Property Editor Polish:
- Add comprehensive form styling (.insertr-form-group, .insertr-form-input, etc.)
- Professional layout with titles, validation, auto-focus, and help text
- Enhanced link/button/image editors with real-time validation
- Consistent spacing, colors, and visual hierarchy
Smart Default Formatting:
- Add Bold, Italic, Link options when not detected in content
- Intelligent detection respects existing developer styles
- Visual distinction for default vs detected styles with info-colored borders
- Content-aware: only adds to elements that benefit from text formatting
Link Interface Unification:
- Create shared createLinkConfigurationForm() component
- Eliminate code duplication between direct editing and popup creation
- Update createLinkEditor() and showLinkConfigPopup() to use shared component
- Fix link button styling to match other style buttons with preview content
Benefits:
- Consistent professional editing experience across all interfaces
- Reduced maintenance burden through code unification
- Enhanced UX with validation, keyboard shortcuts, and visual feedback
- Maintains CLASSES.md philosophy while improving out-of-box experience
- Add backend container transformation in engine.go following syntactic sugar specification
- Containers with .insertr get class removed and viable children get .insertr added
- Remove incorrect frontend container expansion - frontend only finds enhanced elements
- Fix StyleAwareEditor hasMultiPropertyElements runtime error
- Add addClass/removeClass methods to ContentEngine for class manipulation
- Update frontend to match HTML-first approach with no runtime container logic
- Test verified: container <section class='insertr'> transforms to individual h1.insertr, p.insertr, button.insertr
This completes the container expansion functionality per CLASSES.md:
Developer convenience (one .insertr enables section editing) + granular control (individual element editing)
- Add JavaScript-based style copying from original elements to toolbar buttons
- Use getComputedStyle() to dynamically apply color, font-weight, text-decoration, text-transform
- Preserve button clickability with protected backgrounds and hover states
- Support any CSS framework/custom styles without hardcoded mappings
- Add comprehensive documentation to TODO.md for future enhancements
Examples:
- 'Emphasis' button now shows red bold text (from .emph class)
- 'Highlight' button displays with style preview while remaining clickable
- 'Brand' button demonstrates text-transform and color changes
This provides intuitive visual feedback so users immediately understand
what each formatting button will do to their content.
- Remove clunky multi-property editor with separate text + URL inputs
- Implement single rich text editor (contentEditable) for all content
- Add popup-based link configuration: select text → click 🔗 Link → configure
- Filter out link styles from formatting toolbar (links use popup, not buttons)
- Consolidate CSS: remove separate style-aware-editor.css, integrate into insertr.css
- Clean up 200+ lines of unused multi-property form code and styles
- Fix duplicate link style detection (no more 'Fancy Link' + 'Link' buttons)
Result: Much cleaner UX similar to modern editors where formatting uses
toolbar buttons and complex elements (links) use dedicated popups.
- Add StyleAwareEditor class with intelligent editing strategy detection
- Implement three editing modes: simple text, rich content, multi-property forms
- Create dynamic formatting toolbar with buttons for detected styles
- Add multi-property editing forms for complex elements (links, images, buttons)
- Integrate contentEditable with style application/removal functionality
- Replace markdown-based editor.js with style-aware architecture
- Add comprehensive CSS styling for modern, responsive editor interface
- Support fallback editing for error cases with graceful degradation
- Enable real-time style application to selected text in rich editor
- Preserve all element attributes and structure during editing workflow
Complete implementation of CLASSES.md style preservation specification.
Phase 2 foundation ready for final testing and refinement.
