Custom Text Formats lets you add custom text formats to the Gutenberg Editor. Register a new format by adding a class to a chosen tag and add a format icon. There are several to choose from but you can also add your own. You can set the format as a regular selection wrap but you can also render out content in a single block, like an icon or other text or html content. Then add css styling to the class to control the behavior of the text format. You can use different css for backend and frontend.
This plugin requires basic css and html skills so if you are allergic to code, this plugin is not for you.
