| # The block wrapper | |||
|
|
|||
| Each block's markup is wrapped by a container HTML tag that needs to have the proper attributes to fully work in the Block Editor and to reflect the proper block's style settings when rendered in the Block Editor and the front end. As developers, when creating a custom block, we need to manually add these attributes to the markup using some of the tools provided by WordPress. | |||

I find this sentence here a little confusing. It sounds like the markup of the block is wrapped by some markup we cannot control.
Which was the case with the apiVersion: 1 but with apiVersion: 2 & 3 that no longer ist the case and we have the useBlockProps hook to get the attributes that need to exist on the wrapper to manually add to our own markup. So a developer has full control over the markup of the block including the wrapper

@fabiankaegy I have rephrased that part inspired by the info in your comment.
Let me know what you think

@juanmaguitar I'd love for this kind of documentation to be part of the platform docs as well (minus the WordPress jargon). Not necessarily something to act upon now, but I envision that the "platform docs" become some kind of "reference docs" and that the block editor handbook would link to it and just "augment it" with WordPress specifics. |
