Philip here, Co-founder at [Tiptap](https://tiptap.dev), the open-source text editor framework used by thousands of dev teams to build collaborative and smart editors.\\\n\\\nWe’ve launched **Tiptap Pages** into live beta, a new extension that adds pagination, page layouts, headers, footers, and structure to your Tiptap editor.\n\nIf you’re building anything that looks like a document editor but ends up hacked together in an infinite scroll, this is for you.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=94225\u0026key=user_uploads/1335640/3d14271b-bf90-4e24-8d48-800403fdcc21)\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nMost rich text editors treat documents as one long, continuous scroll.\n\nThat works for notes. But not for:\n\n* Contracts with signature blocks that must land on the right page\n* RFPs and government proposals with strict page counts\n* Exams, policies, or legal docs where structure really matters\n* PDFs that actually need to look like the document you typed\n\nAdding “real” document behavior (pages, breaks, headers, print formatting) is hard to maintain.\n\n### **What We Built**\n\nTiptap Pages brings page awareness to your editor.\n\n**Visual page layouts**\\\nChoose A4, Letter, Legal, or define your own. Layouts reflect actual document dimensions.\n\n**Smart pagination**\\\nContent flows across pages with clean, logical breaks\n\n**Dynamic headers and footers**\\\nInsert page numbers, section names, document metadata, and custom elements.\n\n**Custom node support**\\\nBuild and export structured content the way your product needs it, including callouts, exhibits, and embeds.\n\n**Built for developers**\\\nExtend behavior, apply custom styling, and integrate deeply with your stack.\n\nPages is now available on **Team** and **Growth** plans.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=94225\u0026key=user_uploads/1335640/1a13e116-ecec-40f4-bb07-6c08e0b9005b)\n\n### **See It in Action**\n\n* **Product Overview:** https://tiptap.dev/docs/pages/getting-started/overview\n* **Live Demo:** https://feature-pages-extension--tiptap-pro.netlify.app/src/extensions/pages/react/\n* **Join our Discord:** https://tiptap.dev/discord\n\n### **Why We Built It**\n\nDocs still matter, especially in verticals like legal, fintech, govtech, insurtech, and education. But those documents don’t live in Word forever. They’re part of the tools you’re building.\n\nTeams using Tiptap were already trying to force structure into an unstructured model. We built Pages to give them something better, not just for writing, but for layout, formatting, and final delivery.\n\nIf you’ve ever faked a page break with extra line breaks… you get it.\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\nWe’d love feedback from developers building products with structured documents.\n\n* Try the demo and tell us what breaks.\n* Share what your team would need next (collaboration? AI? export formats?).\n* If you’re in one of the verticals above, let’s chat.","slug":"OVl-tiptap-pages-word-style-layouts-in-your-editor","created_at":"2025-09-30T14:00:38.501Z","updated_at":"2026-06-20T08:48:27.631Z","total_vote_count":25,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OVl-tiptap-pages-word-style-layouts-in-your-editor","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=94225\u0026key=user_uploads/1335640/3d14271b-bf90-4e24-8d48-800403fdcc21","company":{"id":29079,"name":"Tiptap","slug":"tiptap","url":"https://tiptap.dev/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/5ea1ff4314cdf63ee3867e1d262f8d1119847e40.png","batch":"Summer 2023","industry":"B2B","tags":["Developer Tools","Open Source","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29079"}}
