feat(deps): upgrade BlockNote from 0.47.3 to 0.48.1 by StephanMeijer · Pull Request #2224 · suitenumerique/docs

StephanMeijer · 2026-04-16T18:45:51Z

Summary

Upgrades all 9 @blocknote/* packages from 0.47.3 to 0.48.1
Migrates one CSS selector from .bn-container to .bn-root to handle the 0.48.0 theming breaking change
Fixes docs' export in docx format : corrector in english and not in the language of the document #1934 — DOCX export no longer forces English spellchecker

What changed

`package.json`

All 9 @blocknote/* packages bumped 0.47.3 → 0.48.1:
@blocknote/core, @blocknote/react, @blocknote/mantine, @blocknote/code-block, @blocknote/xl-ai, @blocknote/xl-docx-exporter, @blocknote/xl-multi-column, @blocknote/xl-odt-exporter, @blocknote/xl-pdf-exporter

`styles.tsx` (1 line)

BlockNote 0.48.0 breaking change: theme CSS variables (colors, fonts) must now target .bn-root instead of .bn-container. .bn-root wraps both the editor and its floating UI (menus, toolbars); .bn-container is now layout-only.

- & > .bn-container {
+ & > .bn-root {
    --bn-colors-editor-text: var(--c--contextuals--content--semantic--neutral--primary);
    --bn-colors-side-menu: var(--c--contextuals--content--semantic--neutral--tertiary);
  }

Fix for #1934

BlockNote 0.48.1 includes TypeCellOS/BlockNote#2651, which fixes the DOCX exporter defaulting to en-US when no locale is passed. The <w:lang> element is now omitted entirely when no locale is provided, letting Word/LibreOffice auto-detect the document language from content — per ECMA-376 §17.3.2.20.

Verification

✅ yarn build — clean, no TypeScript errors
✅ yarn test — 192/192 tests pass
✅ yarn lint — clean
✅ Editor, slash menu, formatting toolbar, comments — all working (live QA)
✅ DOCX w:lang fix confirmed in @blocknote/xl-docx-exporter@0.48.1 package source

Walkthrough

This pull request updates several @blocknote/* package versions from 0.47.3 to 0.48.1 in src/frontend/apps/impress/package.json (including code-block, core, mantine, react, xl-ai, xl-docx-exporter, xl-multi-column, xl-odt-exporter, xl-pdf-exporter). It also updates @blocknote/server-util (dependencies) and @blocknote/core (devDependencies) from 0.47.3 to 0.48.1 in src/frontend/servers/y-provider/package.json. In src/frontend/apps/impress/src/features/docs/doc-editor/styles.tsx a selector was changed from & > .bn-container to & > .bn-root, moving two CSS custom-property assignments and correcting a comment typo. No exported/public API declarations were modified.

The block comment says "Token Mantime"; this looks like a typo for "Mantine" (the rest of the file targets Mantine classes). Renaming it would avoid confusion when searching for Mantine-related styling.

hey @StephanMeijer
Thanks for taking care of the automatic corrector language issue in BlockNote.
Upgrading BlockNote in Docs is a very sensitive operation, it can introduce breaking changes that need to be carefully reviewed by a front-end developper, using AI for this is not fit.
Your fix will be avaiblable to users when we upgrade BlockNote in Docs, there is no rush as it's a non blocking bug and user can select the language of their choice in their prefered text editor.
Cheers,
