## EditableText.Content

`EditableText.Content` should be used in the `save` function of your block to correctly save text content.

## Example

```js
const { registerBlockType } = wp.blocks;
const { EditableText } = wp.editor;

registerBlockType( /* ... */, {
	// ...

	attributes: {
		content: {
			source: 'html',
			selector: '.text',
		},
	},

	edit( { className, attributes, setAttributes } ) {
		return (
			<EditableText
				className={ className }
				value={ attributes.content }
				onChange={ ( content ) => setAttributes( { content } ) }
			/>
		);
	},

	save( { attributes } ) {
		return <EditableText.Content value={ attributes.content } />;
	}
} );
```
