  Client-side and embeddable surfaces Contensis ships alongside its APIs. These are
  distinct from the API clients in packages/contensis-packages.yml — they render content,
  they do not call endpoints on your behalf. Three families: Canvas renderers (the
  Contensis structured-content document model), Forms, and personalisation/search UI.
families:
  - name: Canvas renderers
    description: >-
      Canvas is the Contensis structured content document model — the successor to
      Composer. These libraries turn a Canvas document into React, HTML or Markdown, and
      convert HTML back into Canvas.
