Description
Hey there, I'm trying to figure out how I can listen to content changes both in the RichTextView and the MarkdownView so that I can use the rendered HTML and update a form field with it. In other frameworks, you can add a callback when instantiating the editor or you can listen to custom events like data:change. I'm struggling to understand how Stacks-Editor allows users to react to state changes really. Would you mind clarifying this part, please?

Research direction
Start by locating the RichTextView and MarkdownView entry points and inspect how each exposes or handles content state changes. Determine whether a callback or event mechanism is intended for both views; done means consumers can react to changes and use the rendered HTML, with the behavior clarified or covered by the relevant tests.
