I used to use `DOMSerializer` to get HTML that generated by prosemirror. But I found there’s some problems:

1. If dom is rendered by nodeView, the generated HTML will take value in `toDOM` which may have difference with dom generated in nodeView.
2. Sometimes there’re decorations in dom. Which is very common if we want to add highlight for codeblock using shiki or prism. `DOMSerializer` can’t keep the dom structure with decorations.

So, let’s say I’m using prosemirror as an blog editor. I want to save HTML that can be used to render blogs for users. What’s the recommand way to do this?

You could create an editor and take its `innerHTML`. Beyond than that, this isn’t something the editor provides.
