So if I add a language-plaintext class to a Code block’s code element, to prevent highlight.js from highlighting it, WordPress’ block editor gives me the dreaded “unexpected or invalid content.” Only way out is to convert it to a Custom HTML block (which in this case is kind of okay).

I didn’t wanna deprecate IndieBlocks’ Context block nor …
I didn’t wanna deprecate IndieBlocks’ Context block nor introduce a bunch of breaking changes. So I simply added a couple new blocks (https://github.com/janboddez/indieblocks/tree/new-blocks/blocks). There’s two big differences:
- The new blocks support page title and author information (whereas a Context block will only ever show a bare URL), in a so-called h-cite microformat.
- They use, or support, Gutenberg’s
InnerBlocks. This allows us to ditch sometimes unpredictable—as in, users don’t even know they’re there—block patterns.
Moved some common code into a global object thingy: https://github.com/janboddez/indieblocks/blob/new-blocks/assets/common.js. No clue if this is how it’s done, but it seems to work.

WordPress, Micropub and Featured Images
With Micropub image uploads working, I thought it’d be nice to just make the first uploaded image the Featured Image.
