### BlockNote CSS Attributes

BlockNote uses data attributes to target specific block types and properties:

- `[data-content-type="blockType"]`: Targets blocks of type `blockType`
- `[data-propName="propValue"]`: Targets blocks with specific prop values

Example:
- `[data-content-type="blockType"]`: Targets blocks of type `blockType`.
- `[data-propName="propValue"]`: Targets blocks with specific prop values. If the value is the same as the default value, the `data-propName` attribute will not be added.
