 You might wonder what features tiptap supports out of the box. In the above example we added the `@tiptap/starter-kit`. That already includes support for paragraphs, text, bold, italic, inline code and code blocks. There are a lot more, but you have to explicitly import them. You will learn how that works in the next example.
