 * Hi
 * May I ask what is the purpose of this css?
 * [data-ce-tag=html] * {
    pointer-events: none; }
 * When I want to put an html section, this css makes the html code inside the HTML-
   Section inaccessible. For instance if there is any link in it, it is not clickable;
   No text is selectable.
 * So what is the purpose of this css? (It is in /plugins/page-builder-sandwich/
   page_builder_sandwich/css/editor.min.css)

 * Hello amirrzd!
 * The Pointer Events is used to make the link ‘unclickable’ so users can drag the
   element.
    This behavior happens as long as you are logged in and if the ‘Edit
   with Page Builder Sandwich’ is around.
 * But we are going to change this behavior on the next version. We’ll make it so
   that this only occurs when you are editing the page.
 * Regards! 🙂
