Abstract
The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for enabling text editing across multiple content blocks in a system. The system renders a workspace page including a plurality of content blocks in a user interface of a client application. The workspace page is rendered according to a hierarchical tree derived from the parent and child attributes of the content blocks on the workspace page. The system maintains an in-memory selection state for text selection in the client application. The system receives a user selection of text on the workspace page across a plurality of content blocks. The system updates the in-memory selection state to include a text selection range. The system receives a user edit to the selected text. The system identifies the plurality of content blocks within the text selection range. The system applies the user edit to the content blocks within the text selection range.
