Roadmap
This roadmap outlines the planned direction of rich-html-editor.
The roadmap is intentionally conservative.
Stability, safety, and clarity take priority over rapid feature expansion.

Guiding Principles
- Template integrity over flexibility
- Predictable behavior over feature count
- Enterprise safety over consumer convenience
- Clear non-goals to avoid scope creep
Near-Term (v1.x)
- ✔ Improved toolbar customization
- ✔ Configurable editable selectors
- ✔ Better formatting state tracking
- ✔ Keyboard shortcuts
- ✔ Improved documentation & examples
Mid-Term (v2.x)
- Table editing support
- Background color and image controls
- Superscript / subscript formatting
- Better image handling (constraints, previews)
- Optional read-only / review mode
Long-Term (Exploratory)
- Approval workflow hooks
- Diff view (before vs after HTML)
- Pluggable toolbar architecture
- Accessibility tooling (WCAG helpers)
Explicit Non-Goals
The following are intentionally out of scope.
- ❌ Drag-and-drop layout editing
- ❌ Page builder functionality
- ❌ Visual design tooling
- ❌ CMS replacement
These decisions are fundamental to keeping the editor safe, predictable, and maintainable.
