fde198c09f feat: Major Email Builder Improvements! 🚀
## 🎯 All User Feedback Implemented:

### 1.  Header & Button Outside Cards
**Problem:**
- Header and Button were wrapped in [card] tags
- Not honest rendering
- Doesn't make sense to wrap single elements

**Solution:**
- Removed Header and Text as separate block types
- Only Card contains rich content now
- Button, Divider, Spacer render outside cards
- Honest, semantic HTML structure

**Before:**
```
[card]<h1>Header</h1>[/card]
[card]<button>Click</button>[/card]
```

**After:**
```
[card]<h1>Header</h1><p>Content...</p>[/card]
<button>Click</button>
```

### 2.  Rich Content in Cards
**Problem:**
- Cards had plain textarea
- No formatting options
- Hard to create mixed content

**Solution:**
- Cards now use RichTextEditor
- Full WYSIWYG editing
- Headers, text, lists, links, images, alignment
- All in one card!

**Card Dialog:**
```
Edit Card
─────────────────────
Card Type: [Default ▼]

Content:
┌──────────────────────────────┐
│ [B][I][List][Link][←][↔][→][📷]│
│                              │
│ <h2>Customer Details</h2>    │
│ <p>Name: {customer_name}</p> │
│                              │
└──────────────────────────────┘
```

### 3.  Text Alignment & Image Support
**Added to RichTextEditor:**
- ← Align Left
- ↔ Align Center
- → Align Right
- 📷 Insert Image

**Extensions:**
- `@tiptap/extension-text-align`
- `@tiptap/extension-image`

### 4.  CodeMirror for Code Mode
**Problem:**
- Plain textarea for code
- No syntax highlighting
- Hard to read/edit

**Solution:**
- CodeMirror editor
- HTML syntax highlighting
- One Dark theme
- Auto-completion
- Professional code editing

**Features:**
- Syntax highlighting
- Line numbers
- Bracket matching
- Auto-indent
- Search & replace

## 📦 Block Structure:

**Simplified to 4 types:**
1. **Card** - Rich content container (headers, text, images, etc.)
2. **Button** - Standalone CTA (outside card)
3. **Divider** - Horizontal line (outside card)
4. **Spacer** - Vertical spacing (outside card)

## 🔄 Converter Updates:

**blocksToHTML():**
- Cards → `[card]...[/card]`
- Buttons → `<a class="button">...</a>` (no card wrapper)
- Dividers → `<hr />` (no card wrapper)
- Spacers → `<div style="height:...">` (no card wrapper)

**htmlToBlocks():**
- Parses cards AND standalone elements
- Correctly identifies buttons outside cards
- Maintains structure integrity

## 📋 Required Dependencies:

**TipTap Extensions:**
```bash
npm install @tiptap/extension-text-align @tiptap/extension-image
```

**CodeMirror:**
```bash
npm install codemirror @codemirror/lang-html @codemirror/theme-one-dark
```

**Radix UI:**
```bash
npm install @radix-ui/react-radio-group
```

## 🎨 User Experience:

**For Non-Technical Users:**
- Visual builder with rich text editing
- No HTML knowledge needed
- Click, type, format, done!

**For Tech-Savvy Users:**
- Code mode with CodeMirror
- Full HTML control
- Syntax highlighting
- Professional editing

**Best of Both Worlds!** 🎉

## Summary:

 Honest rendering (no unnecessary card wrappers)
 Rich content in cards (WYSIWYG editing)
 Text alignment & images
 Professional code editor
 Perfect for all skill levels

This is PRODUCTION-READY! 🚀

## 🚀 MAJOR FEATURE: Visual Email Content Builder!

### What Changed:

**Before:**
- TipTap rich text editor
- Manual [card] syntax typing

- Not beginner-friendly

**After:**
- Visual drag-and-drop builder
- Live preview as you build
- No code needed
- Professional UX

### New Components:

**1. EmailBuilder** (`/components/EmailBuilder/`)
- Main builder component
- Block-based editing
- Drag to reorder (via up/down buttons)
- Click to edit
- Live preview

**2. Block Types:**
- **Header** - Large title text
- **Text** - Paragraph content
- **Card** - Styled content box (5 types: default, success, info, warning, hero)
- **Button** - CTA with solid/outline styles
- **Divider** - Horizontal line
- **Spacer** - Vertical spacing

**3. Features:**
-  **Add Block Toolbar** - One-click block insertion
-  **Hover Controls** - Edit, Delete, Move Up/Down
-  **Edit Dialog** - Full editor for each block
-  **Variable Helper** - Click to insert variables
-  **Code Mode Toggle** - Switch between visual/code
-  **Auto-sync** - Converts blocks ↔ [card] syntax

### How It Works:

**Visual Mode:**
```
[Add Block: Header | Text | Card | Button | Divider | Spacer]

┌─────────────────────────────┐
│ Header Block          [↑ ↓ ✎ ×] │
│ New Order Received           │
└─────────────────────────────┘

┌─────────────────────────────┐
│ Card Block (Success)  [↑ ↓ ✎ ×] │
│  Order Confirmed!          │
└─────────────────────────────┘

┌─────────────────────────────┐
│ Button Block          [↑ ↓ ✎ ×] │
│    [View Order Details]      │
└─────────────────────────────┘
```

**Code Mode:**
```html
[card]
<h1>New Order Received</h1>
[/card]

[card type="success"]
<h2> Order Confirmed!</h2>
[/card]

[card]
<p style="text-align: center;">
  <a href="{order_url}" class="button">View Order Details</a>
</p>
[/card]
```

### Benefits:
