## Introduction
tiptap comes very raw, but thats a good thing. You have full control (and when we say full, we mean full) about the appearance of it. That also means you can (and have to) build a menu on your own. You can start with a few buttons, and we help you to wire everything up.

## Menus
The editor provides a fluent API to trigger commands and add active states. You can use any markup you like. To make the positioning of line menus easier, we provide a few utilities and components. Lets go through the most typical use cases one by one.

### Fixed menu
A fixed menu, for example on top of the editor, can be anything. We dont provide such menu. Just add a `<div>` with a few `<button>`s. How those buttons can trigger [commands](/api/commands) is [explained below](#actions).

### Slash commands (work in progress)
Its not an official extension yet, but [theres an experiment you can use to add what we call slash commands](/experiments/commands). Itll allow you to start a new line with `/` and will bring up a popup to select which node should be added.

## Buttons
Okay, youve got your menu. But how do you wire things up?
### Commands
Lets assume youve got the editor running already and you want to add your first button. Youll need a `<button>` HTML tag with a click handler. Depending on your setup, that can look like the following example:

Which commands are available depends on what extensions you have registered with the editor. Most extensions come with a `set…()`, `unset…()` and `toggle…()` command. Read the extension documentation to see whats actually available or just surf through your code editors autocomplete.
### Keep the focus
You have seen the `focus()` command in the above example already. When you click on the button, the browser focuses that DOM element and the editor loses focus. Its likely you want to add `focus()` to all your menu buttons, so the writing flow of your users isnt interrupted.

### The active state
The editor provides an `isActive()` method to check if something is applied to the selected text already. In Vue.js you can toggle a CSS class with help of that function like that:
