Hi, I’ve been trying to add a default mark to a custom node I’m creating but I don’t see a way to do it by default but using “commands”
also I wish to add a default mark to every text node (wrapping the text node) is that possible?
many thanks for the help.

An `appendTransaction` hook could do something like this, by ensuring newly added nodes get the appropriate marks.

I just did a test on this, it works great! many thanks, but It does not apply when pasting text, I believe I must modify the pasted content using the events right?
