Hello

Really enjoying ProseMirror.

However, We are having issues finding our paragraph offsets. In our schema, we have a `ParagraphNode` type that can contain `EntityNode` types.

When we use `doc.resolve(pos).parent` it resolves to an `EntityNode`. This is great but… is there a way of finding the `EntityNodes` parent (i.e: The `ParagraphNode`).

We need the `ParagraphNodes` start and end offset.

Apologies if this is a stupid question.

Best John

You can access further ancestors of a given resolved position with `.node(depth)`. See the [docs](http://prosemirror.net/docs/ref/#model.ResolvedPos.node). Does that help?
