This PR reworks the custom UI example and adds a non-pro example for how to make a static formatting toolbar. The new custom UI example uses Material UI to implement replacements for the default Mantine components, and is extensively commented to show users how to customize elements and use other component libraries that aren't MUI.

Closes #867

Nice. I think this looks good but we can make a couple of improvements. Mainly to explain to readers what the concepts are behind the code. What's the architecture?

Otherwise, we just provide them with some sample replacements that they can edit, but might not go beyond that or really understand it because the concepts aren't explained.

Specifically, I'd suggest:

  • For every component, link / explain which built-in component is replaced. e.g. something like: "The MUIFormattingToolbar replaces the default FormattingToolbar (link) with a MUI-based one. It includes the same components as the default FormattingToolbar, but renders them using MUI elements instead. You can also adjust this code to add or remove specific buttons."
  • Explain when a user would implement a new package (e.g.: "The approach in this example replaces individual components. Alternatively, you can .... This is how the default BlockNote UI layers for Mantine / ShadCN / Ariakit are created")
