Wonder if when using htmlSerializer I can see associated tag (label) information too?
Here in the data obj I can see the tag (label: "rt-list-header"):
But when passed into the htmlSerializer tag seems omitted?
I wonder if this is expected as having that tag information would be useful to me.

Hey @dave1,
This should be possible. I've created an HTML Serializer that should log the info that you're looking for:
```auto
const htmlSerializer = (type, element, content, children) => {
console.log(element?.data?.label)
return null
}
```
Let me know if that logs the label for you.
If not, I could take a look at your code and repo to see if something unexpected is happening.
Best,
Sam

Hey @samlittlefair
Thanks for your reply.
Yes. Seems there is some interesting nesting happening.
Strong \> Label \> Span
I originally filtered on the (type === span) from seeing the rich text data obj output pre serialisation in screenshot 1 from the first post.
Got around this with the following:
if (type === 'strong' && children[0]?.props?.className === 'rt-list-header') {
However running this again, seeing the nesting (console output below) was unexpected so wonder if this is what you would expect?
Your example didn't elaborate to which type a label would be attached, but it may be the case that a label is broken into its own type rather than a HTML tag type? I assumed property would just be attached to existing type.
See output from running through the nodes filtering by the 'Liability' title:
Update, after reviewing span array and the types associated with the [start: 0 - end: 9] items guess it makes sense (first post first screenshot). Only wonder is why/how an additional span tag gets created?

Hey @dave1,
It sounds like you figured this out. For a Custom Label, the `element.type === "label"`. So, in your HTML Serializer, you can do something along the lines of:
```auto
if(element.type === "label") return `${children.join("")} `
```
In the source code for the `prismic-dom` package, which includes a complete HTML Serializer, I can see that the label type renders a `span` tag, while the span type seems to just clean the HTML, without adding HTML tags:

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Ah yes, makes sense seeing /src/richtext.js code snippet 👍
