Using placeholders within text

[m-doescode]

Hi,

As with many other issues opened, I would like to implement image editing into my application. Of course, RichTextEditor does not support this because of a limitation of Compose. So I was wondering if I can use a workaround.

Is it possible to insert a placeholder block within the document that:

• Takes up some designated amount of space/height
• Cannot be edited by the user (but the user can insert text before/after it, just not within it)
• Completely blank
• Has an id, and its position on the screen can be queried
• Can be deleted/moved/resized through code

If so, I could maybe overlay the image on top of where that placeholder is supposed to appear. Is there any way to do this using your library?

Thank you so much for your work, and your response in advance

Hello,
Thanks for opening this issue. Unfortunately that's not possible, but I'm working on supporting adding elements to the rich editor such as images in v2. Hopefully an alpha version will be available in the upcoming weeks.
