Code View: Side-by-side UI
backlog
Dhinil C A
I strongly suggest implementing a side-by-side UI for the 'Code View' and 'Block Editor' rather than the current dialog-based Code View. Currently, it is a challenging task to figure out the exact/matching line number in Code View to correct any HTML tags.
The proposed enhancement would allow users to seamlessly view and compare code modifications in real-time within the Block Editor, providing a more intuitive and efficient editing experience. Please note, that the current placement of the Code View dialog restricts the user from viewing the block editor. (A sample given as attachment)

Prabhakaran Parasuraman I wanted to bring some clarity here about the feedback on the current editor interface, specifically concerning the Block Editor and Code View functionality. The current setup is effective, but I believe there is an opportunity for improvement.
It would be immensely helpful for users if they could access the Block Editor and Code view side-by-side on the same screen. This feature would allow changes made in the Code view to be verified in real-time, eliminating the need to navigate back to the Block Editor, which currently requires an additional mouse click. This helps in modifying HTML tags effectively.
I suggest making this feature optional, providing users with the flexibility to choose between the default Block Editor and the proposed side-by-side editing mode. This way, users who prefer the standard workflow can continue without disruption, while those who find value in simultaneous editing can take advantage of the new feature.
The key benefits of this enhancement include a streamlined workflow, reduced navigation steps, and an improved user experience. However, it's crucial to ensure that the introduction of this feature does not complicate the interface for users who opt to stick with the default Block Editor.
I appreciate your consideration of this feedback and look forward to seeing how these improvements might positively impact the overall user experience of Document360.

Dhinil C A: Hi, thanks for your patience. We would like to inform you on successfully implemented the code view function in the Advanced WYSIWYG editor. Now, you can click and switch back to the code view and the edit page with seamless transition. Kindly have a look and let us know if you've any concerns.
However, we don't have a plan to provide side by side UI of code view and preview page for now. We would like to change the status of this feedback.
Your cooperation and understanding are appreciated.

Hi Dhinil, thanks for your feedback. We have implemented the rendered layout. There are no plans to have the same layout as Markdown in our roadmap. The challenges in the code view will be considered as an enhancement. We will revisit the position of the code view in 2024.
We have provided additional functions to enhance your editing experience. We value your feedback; we will surely try to provide a better user experience in the code view section.
If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to reach out to us.
