Dialogue: 0,0:45:08.16,0:45:09.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the aims of the Block Editor is
Dialogue: 0,0:45:09.60,0:45:11.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make it so that users can

Dialogue: 0,0:45:14.40,0:45:16.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,developer. So as an example, if
Dialogue: 0,0:45:16.88,0:45:19.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you insert a custom HTML block
Dialogue: 0,0:45:19.12,0:45:20.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then save that as a

Dialogue: 0,0:45:27.60,0:45:29.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Secondly, tools like WebPack are
