The goal of this new editor is to make adding rich content to WordPress simple and enjoyable. This whole post is composed of pieces of content<\/em>\u2014somewhat similar to LEGO bricks\u2014that you can move around and interact with. Move your cursor around and you\u2019ll notice the different blocks light up with outlines and arrows. Press the arrows to reposition blocks quickly, without fearing about losing things in the process of copying and pasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine everything that WordPress can do is available to you quickly and in the same place on the interface. No need to figure out HTML tags, classes, or remember complicated shortcode syntax. That\u2019s the spirit behind the inserter\u2014the (+)<\/code> button you\u2019ll see around the editor\u2014which allows you to browse all available content blocks and add them into your post. Plugins and themes are able to register their own, opening up all sort of possibilities for rich editing and publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
