Support less common HTML text formatting tags.

Please add support for less commonly used HTML text formatting tags. These tags are important for ensuring good accessibility of a website.

I would consider using a similar approach to the current UI used for selecting semantic tags for div blocks (dropdown in the settings panel), but this would instead apply to the text block element type.

The following tags are ones that I would consider supporting.

The full list can be found here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_byfunc.asp

 

<abbr> Defines an abbreviation or an acronym
<address> Defines contact information for the author/owner of a document/article
   
<bdi> Isolates a part of text that might be formatted in a different direction from other text outside it
<bdo> Overrides the current text direction
   
<blockquote> Defines a section that is quoted from another source
   
<cite> Defines the title of a work
<code> Defines a piece of computer code
<del> Defines text that has been deleted from a document
<dfn> Represents the defining instance of a term
<em> Defines emphasized text 
   
   
<ins> Defines a text that has been inserted into a document
<kbd> Defines keyboard input
<mark> Defines marked/highlighted text
<meter> Defines a scalar measurement within a known range (a gauge)
<pre> Defines preformatted text
<progress> Represents the progress of a task
<q> Defines a short quotation
   
   
   
<s> Defines text that is no longer correct
<samp> Defines sample output from a computer program
   
   
<strong> Defines important text
<sub> Defines subscripted text
<sup> Defines superscripted text
   
<time> Defines a date/time
   
<u> Defines text that should be stylistically different from normal text
<var> Defines a variable
<wbr> Defines a possible line-break

    For my client we need to be able to use the superscript function from within a Rich Text Field.

    This is just the start, the select tag would enable no js dropdowns and the list goes on. Webflow needs to ramp up the developer customisation options so we are not locked into html and css from 5 years ago. Add css properties panel, add tag panel.

    Thanks for bringing this up. Better accessibility options and features would help everyone.
