- fragmentToBlocks / prosemirrorSliceToSlicedBlocks: handle a container node whose generated __content or __children node was removed by a slice boundary, fixing crashes when copying or dragging a partial selection inside a content-bearing container (toggle) - getParentBlock: climb past a container's generated __children node, fixing getParentBlock and moveBlocksUp/Down for blocks nested in content-bearing containers - add regression tests covering the above Also tidies the container schema code: extract a shared createContainerOwnNode helper used by both container-node builders, simplify ReactCustomBlockRenderProps, and drop the unused getContainerAttributes export.
- blockToNode: fill an empty `whenEmptied: "unwrap"` container so it passes the pre-repair `node.check()` instead of throwing - moveBlocks: validate placement against the moved block's real node type, so moving a container block past a blocks-only container no longer throws - splitBlock: refuse content-bearing containers (Enter mid-title no longer crashes `tr.split`; the Enter chain aborts to a no-op) - KeyboardShortcuts: extract `moveBlockOutAndPlaceCaret`, collapsing four Backspace/Delete/Enter container-boundary branches and mapping the caret through the delete + repair so it lands in the moved block - mergeBlocks: repair the parent container after merging a child into its title (unwrap/refill), mapping the caret through the repair - serializers: pass `containerRootDOM(ret)` and guard `fillContainerAttributes` so fragment/rootDOM container renders don't crash - containerAttributes: emit reserved `data-node-type`/`data-id` markers after the prop loop so a colliding prop can't overwrite them - odt exporter: only legacy columns reset nesting to 0; schema-defined containers preserve their nesting level like the other exporters - nodeToBlock: import `isContainerNode` from the schema layer Adds regression tests and tidies a few container test helpers.
Behavior-preserving extractions that collapse duplicated container-block code introduced by this feature branch: - Add shared `getContainerChildrenHolder` in `children.ts`, replacing the two byte-identical mirror functions `getChildrenHolder` (nodeToBlock) and `getContainerChildren` (fragmentToBlocks). - Add `selectSealedSiblingCommand(direction)` in KeyboardShortcuts, collapsing the near-identical Backspace-prev / Delete-next sealed-sibling selection branches into one parameterized command. - Extract a local `descend()` closure in `getInsertionPos`, folding the two `placement === "start"` first/last descent ternaries. Net -58 lines. Lint clean; core unit + container browser suites green.
A container render returning a DocumentFragment without rootDOM used to skip the round-trip attributes (data-node-type, prop data-*) entirely, so its serialized HTML could not parse back. containerRootDOM now resolves such a fragment to its single wrapped element, and the external serializer uses the resolved root for the bn-block-content check and nesting-level attribute instead of crashing on the fragment's missing classList. Also asserts the exact block order in the moveBlocksUp placement test and adds internal & external HTML round-trip coverage for fragment-rendered containers.
Direct children of a horizontal container that were part of the dragged blocks were left in the rebuilt child list, duplicating them on drop. Filter them out (tracking them as already-in-list so they're moved, not removed), and treat a dragged direct target as a no-op like a dragged typed target. Also update the empty-columnList insert test: core now fills the container to a valid two-column list instead of throwing.
Removes the ability to combine content: "inline" / "plain" with children on a block config. A "content container" compiled to three ProseMirror nodes (the block node plus generated <type>__content and <type>__children nodes); all of that machinery is deleted: - the three-node compilation path (buildContentContainerNode) and the extraNodes plumbing through the spec and extension manager - the containerContent node group, the generated node names, and the isContentContainerNode / isContainerBlockNode predicates, collapsing every isContainerNode(x) || isContentContainerNode(x) site onto the pure-container predicate - the content-container branches in keyboard behavior (Enter splits the content head into a first child, Backspace merges the first child back into it, mergeIntoContainerContent), fixContainer, block/node conversions, HTML serializers, and the React node view - the tests, fixtures, and docs sections that covered them Combining children with any content other than "none" is now a schema-creation error, keeping the door open to re-add the combination later. Pure containers (content: "none" + children - callout, column, columnList) are unaffected; the string-prop editable-title pattern is now the documented way to give a container a heading.

moveBlockOutAndPlaceCaretin this branch.Every other container-boundary movement branch calls
moveBlockOutAndPlaceCaret. This branch open-codes delete, insert, and selection instead. Two behaviors differ as a result:
- It does not call
fixContainersById, so the source container never runs itswhenEmptiedrepair after the block leaves.- It does not call
scrollIntoView, unlike the sibling branches.The unmapped
insertionPosis correct here, because the deleted range always follows it. The helper maps positions anyway, so the switch is safe.♻️ Proposed refactor

- Line 1: Restore the HTML doctype in the shared template source used to
generate the example, then regenerate the affected index.html artifact; update
the template rather than editing the generated file directly, preserving the
existing html structure.
In `@examples/06-custom-schema/09-container-block/vite.config.ts`:
- Around line 15-31: Update the local package path checks and aliases in the
Vite configuration around the core and React package symbols to use
../../../packages/core/src and ../../../packages/react/src, ensuring development
resolves repository sources; then regenerate the generated template file.
Apply the same fix in
`@examples/06-custom-schema/12-container-table/vite.config.ts` around lines 16 -
32: The same incorrect relative paths prevent this example from using the local
package sources.
In
`@packages/core/src/api/blockManipulation/commands/insertBlocks/insertBlocks.ts`:
- Around line 122-145: Update the insertion flow around getInsertionPos and the
fragment construction to validate the complete wrapped insertion fragment, not
only nodesToInsert[0]. Before tr.step, use the target parent’s canReplace check
with the replacement position and full fragment, and reject or throw using the
existing insertion error behavior when validation fails. Add a regression test
covering a single container configured with min: 0 and max: 1 while inserting
multiple paragraphs.
In `@packages/core/src/api/blockManipulation/commands/updateBlock/updateBlock.ts`:
- Around line 142-156: Update the replacement-node construction in updateBlock
so carried content is not passed directly to restricted containers such as
columnList when paragraph is not an allowed child. Route that content into a
valid default child when available, or omit it otherwise, while preserving
direct carried-content handling for containers that permit paragraph children
and keeping existing child merging intact.
In `@packages/core/src/api/exporters/html/util/serializeBlocksExternalHTML.ts`:
- Around line 284-303: In the container-block branch of the external HTML
serializer, set the `data-children-of` attribute on `ret.contentDOM` using the
container’s block type before appending `ret.dom`. Keep the existing
`fillContainerAttributes`, fragment append, and nesting-level behavior
unchanged.
In `@packages/core/src/api/nodeConversions/blockToNode.ts`:
- Around line 450-453: Update seedDefaultChildren and seedRefillChildren to
remove author-supplied child IDs before passing each child to blockToNode.
Create the converted inputs with id set to undefined while preserving all other
child fields and existing seeding behavior.
In `@packages/core/src/extensions/SideMenu/SideMenu.ts`:
- Around line 298-307: Update the x-coordinate lookup in the SideMenu mousemove
handling to remove the non-null assertion on container.firstElementChild and
fall back to the container itself when neither the blockOuter query nor
firstElementChild returns an element, while preserving the existing preference
order.
In `@packages/core/src/schema/blocks/createSpec.ts`:
- Around line 321-339: Replace the browser-global DOM constructor checks with
nodeType checks to keep server-side export paths safe: in
packages/core/src/schema/blocks/createSpec.ts:321-339, update containerRootDOM
to detect DocumentFragment via nodeType === 11 and retain the HTMLElement cast
for the single child; in packages/core/src/schema/blocks/internal.ts:164-178,
update the HTMLElement guard to return early when dom.nodeType !== 1, then
operate on the narrowed element.
Apply the same fix in `@packages/core/src/schema/blocks/internal.ts` around lines
164 - 178: The same Node runtime failure occurs in the element guard used while
rendering container blocks.
In `@packages/react/src/components/Popovers/BlockPopover.tsx`:
- Around line 44-51: Update the boxed-element lookup in the popover element
resolution logic to scope the descendant selector to the current block’s type
name, rather than matching any data-node-type element. Preserve the direct dom
match behavior and return the container’s own node element when the author root
has not yet been stamped.

Correct the generated example package paths. The relative paths currently resolve under examples/packages, so the local-source aliases are skipped and development uses installed package code instead of the implementation in this branch. Update the shared generator to use the repository-level package paths, then regenerate both affected example configurations.

Validate the complete insertion fragment before stepping.
getInsertionPos checks only the first node type, but ReplaceStep inserts the complete fragment. A bounded container with one remaining slot can accept the first paragraph while rejecting a two-paragraph fragment. Validate the complete wrapped fragment and the replacement with parent.canReplace before calling tr.step. Add a regression test with a single container configured with min: 0, max: 1.

Guard carried content for restricted containers. createExplicitChildrenNode passes non-empty children directly to ProseMirror. A non-empty conversion to columnList therefore prepends an invalid paragraph child, and replacementNode.check() can throw a RangeError. Route the content into a valid default child or omit it when paragraph is not allowed.

Strip author-supplied id values from default children.
children.default permits optional IDs, and both seeding paths pass the same objects to blockToNode, which preserves defined IDs. Refill can therefore reinsert an ID that already exists in the container. Set id: undefined before conversion in seedDefaultChildren and seedRefillChildren.

Avoid browser-only DOM constructors in server-side HTML export. The checks in this file and packages/core/src/schema/blocks/internal.ts reference bare DocumentFragment and HTMLElement globals. In Node, those globals are undefined, so container rendering can throw ReferenceError before producing HTML. Check the value's nodeType instead and narrow it before accessing element APIs.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Scope the boxed-element query to the container's own node type.
dom.querySelector("[data-node-type]") matches any descendant. Child blocks inside the container render data-node-type="blockOuter" and data-node-type="blockContainer", so when the author root is not yet stamped with data-node-type the first match is a child block, and the popover anchors to that child. Use the block's type name in the selector.
🎯 Proposed fix
if (dom instanceof Element) {
- const boxed = dom.matches("[data-node-type]")
- ? dom
- : dom.querySelector("[data-node-type]");
+ const selector = `[data-node-type="${nodePosInfo.node.type.name}"]`;
+ const boxed = dom.matches(selector)
+ ? dom
+ : dom.querySelector(selector);

Recreates the container blocks stack, which was merged to
mainprematurely and has since been rolled back (mainis back at 57190da). GitHub does not allow reopening merged PRs, so this single PR replaces the four that made up the stack:The commits are identical in content to what was on
main(same tree, new SHAs — the original merge was a rebase-merge). #3010 is stacked on top of this branch.1. Core: container block API (was #2997)
A first-class API for container blocks: custom blocks that hold other blocks as children, declared with a new
childrenconfig onBlockConfig:validateChildren.ts,assertSchemaInvariants.ts): child configs are checked at schema build time, with reachability checks forplacement: "containerOnly"blocks.fixContainer.ts): removals that empty a container belowmineither unwrap it or refill it fromdefault, applied by the block manipulation API and the keyboard handlers.KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts): the previously hardcoded columnList Backspace/Delete/Enter handlers are generalized to any container, driven by schema navigation (containerNav.ts) and theboundaryconfig (sealedcontainers never leak or swallow content implicitly).data-children-ofmarkers so non-content UI text in a render never parses back as document content,parse/parseContent/runsBeforesupport for containers.insertBlocksplacements ("start"/"end"),updateBlockconversions into/out of containers, container-awaremoveBlocks/nestBlock/mergeBlocks.sideMenuContainerGeometry.ts,containerUI.ts), React node-view support (ReactBlockSpec,useNodeViewBlock),BlockPopoverfixes.@blocknote/core/internalentry point for the container machinery that integrations need but that isn't public API.2.

Content containers cut from v1 (was #3009)
#3009 was a decision artifact, and merging it took the decision: content containers are cut from v1. Containers are always
content: "none"; an editable title/caption is a string prop rendered as an input.That removal (34 files, +149 / −2,531) is included here:
buildContentContainerNode, the generated<type>__content/<type>__childrennodes, thecontainerContentgroup, and theextraNodesplumbing are gone.isContentContainerNode/isContainerBlockNoderemoved; everyisContainerNode(x) || isContentContainerNode(x)disjunction collapses to the pure-container predicate.mergeIntoContainerContent), plus the content-container arms of splitBlock/mergeBlocks/updateBlock andblockToNode/nodeToBlock/fragmentToBlocks.[data-content-type]/[data-children-of]sibling-region rendering.data-children-ofitself stays — pure containers still use it to scope their round-trip parse rule.children+ anycontentother than"none"is now a schema-creation error pointing at the string-prop pattern, keeping the door open to re-add content containers later without an API change.Pure containers (
content: "none"+children) are unaffected: callout, the container-table example, and xl-multi-column need no changes. ReactcontentReffor containers keeps working.Verification
