File exporters: client-side export to docx and pdf

What's XL, you wonder?

These packages have been published as @blocknote/xl-multi-column, @blocknote/xl-pdf-exporter and @blocknote/xl-docx-exporter. We're 100% committed to developing all our work open source. To ensure we run a sustainable project, we are experimenting with XL packages. These are dual-licensed packages that are released under AGPL-3.0 licenses. You're free to use these in open source projects, but for usage in proprietary / commercial projects, a sponsorship is required.

v0.18.0 and v0.18.1: Code Block, React 19, Table UX

Another big update! 🙌

This release adds:

• A code block with syntax highlighting! Great work @areknawo! 💖 CellaJS sponsored this our work on this.
• Improved Table UX (see image below)! Click or Drag to add rows / columns to tables. Also, resized column widths are now stored in the BlockNote JSON. This feature was sponsored by DeepOrigin 💖

Last, but not least, we added support for React 19 and Next.js 15 (would have been cool if this was BlockNote v0.19 instead of v0.18, but you can't have it all 🤷‍♂️). ---> Please see the upgraded next.js guide in the docs.

Full Changelog: v0.17.1...v0.18.1

(note: most of these changes were in v0.18.0, v0.18.1 only adds this commit to make sure the peerDependency is compatible with React 19 RC. _note that @blocknote/core remained unchanges, so you can use v0.18.0 for this)
