## ✅ 1. Heading Selector in RichTextEditor
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem
|
||||
Users couldn't control heading levels without typing HTML manually.
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution
|
||||
Added a dropdown selector in the RichTextEditor toolbar.

## ✅ 2. Styled Buttons in Cards
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem
|
||||
- Buttons in TipTap cards looked raw (unstyled)
|
||||
- Different appearance from standalone buttons
|
||||
- Not editable (couldn't change text/URL by clicking)
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution

||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
- Solid & Outline styles available
|
||||

||||
```css
|
||||
Solid (Primary):
|
||||
background: #7f54b3
|
||||
color: white
|
||||
padding: 14px 28px
|
||||
|
||||
Outline (Secondary):

|
||||
### Problem

||||
- Users had to type `{variable_name}` manually
|
||||
- Easy to make typos
|
||||
- No suggestions or discovery
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution

||||
|
||||
**Features:**

||||

|
||||
