Hi again! Ive been trying to use 
@sanity/block-tools
and i keep getting this error:
ReferenceError: DOMParser is not defined
    at defaultParseHtml (***/studio/node_modules/@sanity/block-tools/lib/HtmlDeserializer/helpers.js:173:35)
Happens on my own code as well as the example code provided in the packages readme, here:
https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity/blob/next/packages/%40sanity/block-tools/README.md I am running the script through 
sanity exec
Im puzzled

The HTML-deserialization is done by default by the browser's native DOMParser. On the server side you can give the function 
parseHtml
 that parses the html into a DOMParser compatible model / API.

if you're running it on the server, you need to npm/yarn install some DOM parser like jsdom and use that

That makes complete sense! And you just got rid of my error - thanks a ton! 🍻
