Hello,
I need to have the ability to go back and forth between the whole editor being HTML editable and Prosemirror (not just including code snippets). Has anyone implemented this before?
I have no idea how to get started implementing this.
Thank you, Trey

This is what the [`DOMSerializer`](http://prosemirror.net/docs/ref/#model.DOMSerializer) and [`DOMParser`](http://prosemirror.net/docs/ref/#model.DOMParser) classes are for.

Thank you!
So 2 views, each with their own serializer and parser?
