Review, read, edit, share, or create Gutenberg locally—even when WordPress is unavailable.
Choose the job first. WordPressLess will keep the interface focused on that workflow.
WordPressLess turns Gutenberg into one portable HTML workspace. It does not publish, upload, or change WordPress by itself.
The recommended workflow for delivering precise inline feedback, visual markup, suggested wording, reorder instructions, and attachments in one handoff file.
Paste Gutenberg, receive a clean navigable reader, save the HTML, and share it without asking the recipient to open WordPress.
Keep media and plugin tables dormant, work on the text locally, and load only the expensive content needed for the current task.
Start a valid Gutenberg article from a template, add blocks locally, then export the finished source when WordPress becomes available.
Replace scattered Jira text, screenshot folders, and email fragments with feedback anchored directly to the article.
Paste the source or import a raw/saved HTML file, then enter the reviewer name.
Select exact text or click a paragraph, heading, list item, image, table, or other reviewable element.
Add a change, question, note, or approval. Include replacement wording, vector markup, a move instruction, or Base64-embedded attachments when useful.
Review the summary, add an overall note, and save one HTML file named with the article, reviewer, and timestamp.
The recipient expands one feedback card, performs the update, marks it done, and moves to the next item without losing the article context.
Gutenberg source, comments, suggested text, vector drawings, move instructions, Base64 attachments, overall note, and any loaded WP-table snapshots.
Article media URLs and live shared WP Table Builder objects. Their latest online content is not guaranteed unless it was loaded and captured.
No review or editing is required. The saved HTML contains the source and navigation needed to reopen the article locally.
Paste Code Editor content or import HTML/TXT. Give the article a readable name when the filename does not already provide one.
Use the outline and search. Load media or plugin tables only when the recipient needs those elements visible in the saved snapshot.
Choose Save HTML. The reader reopens in lightweight mode and keeps the Gutenberg embedded for later extraction.
The article opens with text, headings, native HTML, and links. Remote media and plugin tables wait until requested.
Keep the article in text-only mode while navigating or making textual changes.
Supported blocks include headings, paragraphs, list items, images, Custom HTML, shortcodes, Classic notes, and WP-table references.
Apply changes, add new blocks, move compatible top-level blocks, duplicate, delete, undo, redo, and validate.
Use permanent public media URLs. Edit shared WP tables online only when authorized, then refresh their local preview.
Open Gutenberg, run validation, then copy or download the updated source for the controlled WordPress update.
Choose Blank, How-to, Troubleshooting, User guide, Release notes, or Knowledge base, then refine the generated blocks locally.
Enter the article title, optional author, opening summary, and the closest starting template.
Open Edit and replace the generated prompts with approved article content.
Insert paragraphs, headings, lists, images, notes, Custom HTML, WP-table references, and separators before/after a selected top-level block or at the article end.
Build complex Custom HTML tables in Table Studio. Upload media to WordPress Media or another approved permanent host, then paste its public URL.
Save a portable draft backup and copy the generated Gutenberg when the Documentation Center is ready.
Understanding the boundary prevents a portable review from being mistaken for a complete WordPress backup.
| Content | Local behavior | Update method |
|---|---|---|
| Text, headings, and code | Embedded in Gutenberg and fully editable locally. | Edit in WordPressLess, then export Gutenberg. |
| Native/Custom HTML tables | Embedded directly and available immediately. | Edit the Custom HTML, preferably using Table Studio for complex tables. |
| Images and media | Remain dormant until loaded; the Gutenberg usually stores an external URL. | Upload to an approved permanent host, paste the public URL, and preview it. |
| WP Table Builder | The Gutenberg stores a shared table ID. A loaded rendering can be embedded as a review snapshot. | Edit the shared object in WordPress when authorized, then Refresh preview. The online app uses its secure resolver; local standalone copies use the local bridge. |
| Review attachments | Base64-embedded directly in the saved review HTML. | Download from the feedback card when implementing the change. |
Readable filenames make reviews and drafts useful when reconstructing a lost or damaged article.
Reader, edited, and draft files use the same readable timestamp pattern with their workflow purpose.
The local workspace is intentionally powerful without silently expanding into publishing or shared-object management.
| Article search | Enter moves to the next match; Shift+Enter moves to the previous match. |
| Editing undo/redo | Ctrl/Cmd+Z and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z while Edit is open and focus is outside a text field. |
| Markup undo/redo | Ctrl/Cmd+Z and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z while the visual markup workspace is active. |
| Escape | Cancels markup, closes the feedback editor, or closes open dialogs. |
| Internal links | Matching article fragments scroll locally; missing anchors are identified instead of opening the wrong page. |
Detects missing or unexpected block-closing markers before export.
Flags unresolved local media and accidental reader-only markup in the export source.
