Learn more in our docs! The `Document` extension is required, no matter what you build with Tiptap. It’s a so called “topNode”, a node that’s the home to all other nodes. Think of it like the `` tag for your document. The node is very tiny though. It defines a name of the node (`doc`), is configured to be a top node (`topNode: true`) and that it can contain multiple other nodes (`block+`). That’s all. But have a look yourself: > **Interactive demo:** [Document](https://embed.tiptap.dev/preview/Nodes/Document) > **Breaking Change:** > > Tiptap v1 tried to hide that node from you, but it has always been there. You have to explicitly > import it from now on (or use [StarterKit](https://tiptap.dev/docs/editor/extensions/functionality/starterkit.md)). ## Install ```bash npm install @tiptap/extension-document ``` ## Source code [packages/extension-document/](https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap/blob/main/packages/extension-document/)
