Paragraph
The Paragraph block is the default block type — the one that appears when you press Enter or start typing anywhere on a fresh line. It uses a full Tiptap rich-text editor, so all inline formatting is available without switching block types.
Usage
Type / and select Paragraph, or simply press Enter at the end of any block. The placeholder text reads Type '/' for commandsuntil you start typing.

The paragraph block supports LaTeX math via the Mathematics extension. Wrap an expression in
$...$ for inline math or $$...$$ for a display block. Math renders using KaTeX in both the editor and the published page.Publishing
Paragraphs render as a <div> with the Tiptap HTML output injected via dangerouslySetInnerHTML on the published page. Inline styles for text color and highlight are preserved. Links open in a new tab.
