Is it possible to type the sentence, then delete the last words and retype different words?
Also show the blinking caret/cursor when typing or deleting characters.
Yes, you can delete previously typed sentences, see example #3 on the site: use a <delete> element.
If you want a caret, there's two options:
* put your tply source into a span, then after the span create and style your own caret.
* contribute to the repo and add an easier way to have a caret (:
If you're wondering about how you would go about using this in your own website, check out the documentation in the github repo here: https://github.com/ichub/tply
If you're wondering how these actually work, browsers just interpret the custom elements as unstyled inline elements, basically as `span`s, which I am free to do with as I wish.
Is that standardized? So why doesn't all those libraries (mostly jQuery libraries) that perform DOM transformation use custom elements, instead of a lot of nested divs with custom classes?
Honestly, I'm not sure. If it was really an issue, it'd be trivial to change the script to render things as nested divs and spans. The appeal of custom elements, at least to me, is that it makes everything more concise and readable. I prefer reading <type>whatever</type> to <div class="type">whatever</div>.
