Page Editor Support for Description Lists (<dl>, <dt>, <dd>)

Feature Requests
1

Hello,

Long story short, I’m using a description list in a page template, and the editor does not appear to be defined to work intuitively with these elements:

  • “Enter” in either a <dt> or <dd> element will make a new element of the same type.
  • “Backspace” in either an empty <dt> or empty <dd> does nothing.
  • etc.

Given working with these specific pages will be limited to myself and my colleagues, the structure is mostly fixed, and I’ve done some work in CSS to make the editor view explain some of the details visually, so I’m not too concerned for my current use case.

That said, we’re following advice to use description lists for content like this to support SEO and AI search, and I assume we (and others) may start using them more frequently. How frequently, I’m not sure, but it may be worth some attention so the LiveWhale editor can handle them well should they be used.

Thanks,
Nick
