Block Ideas

I love this editor and can see it being super powerful for a CMS. I think it needs just a bit more power to cover any kind of usage. 

1. Text Block Improvements

I think the text block should be made more advanced. It definitely doesn't need to be too crazy but I think we can add more power and still keep it flexible. For example lists should created within the text instead of an entire block. Headings, lists (bullet, numbered), links, position (left, center, right) should cover almost all use cases.

Add H1, H2 buttons to popup. If you select a word in a paragraph it would apply the style to the whole paragraph as a heading.

Add a button somewhere to split the text block in two and another button to meld two blocks next to each other together. This would be helpful for splitting existing text to add a video or picture in between. 

Should figure out a way to add a picture with a float. Maybe a way to divide the column into two to have a picture on one side or the other.

2. Basic Tables

Add / Delete Row
Add / Delete Column

Create basic tabular data with unlimited rows and columns. 

3. Picture / Gallery / Video?

Should be able to create an image block and then drag in several images to build a simple gallery. 

4. Video Improvements

Should have an edit button to change or drag in a new video?

5. Audio

Same as video but html5 audio.

6. HTML

Should be able to view the HMTL for every block. Its easier to insert © and other symbols that way. Maybe also an html block for embedding forms and other content. You could add a list of approved tags (iframe, script, style, etc).
