parent/child/grandchild block

Nested blocks aren’t really fully there yet.

But are you talking about nesting blocks, or making something like a bulleted list?

I am talking about nested blocks.

I have been looking at csszengarden,com, and have been trying to convert this site’s code to use gutenberg. this site builds different looking pages, only changing the CSS code to do so. the HTML is the same in each page but each page certainly displays differently because of different CSS used.

atomic blocks and editor blocks plugins have created 2 level blocks, where you have a parent block with a single or multiple child blocks, but you cannot use this block and create a child block within the child block, unless you create an HTML block within the parent block as a child block and hard code another block within that.

gutenberg in its current state, with available plugins or not, does not seem to allow you to code up a page with a complex HTML structure, unless you use the HTML block. the building blocks now in gutenberg seem to be the ones that will be shipping with 5.0 and right now do not provide me with any way, other that using the HTML block, to code up pages with any complexity. I do not like the simple page layout that gutenberg provides for me right now. it might be great for a simple blog but not for more complex tasks.

Yes, it’s not a full page builder, and nested blocks are certainly something I want to see finished before it goes into core as well. If just for styling reasons.

Why is this marked as resolved? This whole Block thing has totally screwed up my wepage infrastructure. I cant put a picture inside of a list. Even if I try to break the text up into blocks, any list numbers that I had going just start over at 1 instead of continuing from the previous step. This nested block needs to be resolved, I can no longer write posts thus making my website obsolete to me.
