+### DotCMSBlockEditorRendererNative
+
+`DotCMSBlockEditorRendererNative` is the recommended renderer for [Block Editor](https://dev.dotcms.com/docs/block-editor) content. It emits **clean semantic HTML** — `<ul><li><p>…</p></li></ul>` — with no custom wrapper elements between semantic tags.
 
-### DotCMSBlockEditorRenderer
+> The original `DotCMSBlockEditorRenderer` is deprecated and retained for backward compatibility. See the component's TSDoc and [`MIGRATION.md`](./MIGRATION.md#migrating-to-the-semantic-block-editor-renderer) for the migration path — it's a one-line swap.
 
-`DotCMSBlockEditorRenderer` is a component for rendering [Block Editor](https://dev.dotcms.com/docs/block-editor) content from dotCMS with support for custom block renderers.
+#### Why it matters
+
+The host element is the real semantic tag (`<ul>`, `<li>`, `<p>`, `<h1>`–`<h6>`, ...) and recursion is done through `ng-template` outlets that render as HTML comment nodes (invisible to the accessibility tree), so `<li>` stays a true DOM child of `<ul>` — the relationship the HTML spec and assistive technology require, and that accessibility scanners flag when broken. This applies inside table cells and grid columns too: `<td><ul><li>…` stays intact.
