Roam "Document“ style missing

[tombarys]

Describe the bug
It is not possible to publish blocks in Document mode (without bullets).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a page in Roam with text content and set all (or some) blocks to Document mode
2. Plant a garden
3. See all text is bulleted

Expected behavior
Roam.Garden should strictly differentiate between block modes.

Yeah, this information is missing from JSON export :(. So as long as I depend on it as source of truth, this will be challenging.
One workaround is to remove bullets with CSS, though you won't be able to be very selective with that.

Idea: what about adding a special tag for flagging a particular page as a Document-based on the first level? I guess it could be a workaround that should work for most situations when you want to simply share basic texts, poems, etc. Children of the doc-tagged page would be simple paragraphs (non-bullets), but children of this children could behave like bullets again.

That can be an option. I'm thinking about implementing convention of inferring the class for the block based on the tags inside similar to how Roam does, and this can be one of the use-cases. Need to do some refactoring first though. Btw you may find #17 interesting as it implements what you described for the whole Garden

Great. Thanks!

#26 would be an enabler for something like that

In roam I use a similar technique => tag= .flattener

.flattener div.rm-block-children { margin-left:0!important;}
.flattener div.rm-multibar {border-right: 0px}

so long as we have classes in roam.garden to match that should do it?
(although I struggle with empty blocks)

Sounds reasonable. Also with #28 - I actually can get the "document" information as I do export manually vs relying on the default JSON export process. It'd only work when you use the plugin though 🤔
