### Patch Changes

- [#4991](https://github.com/udecode/plate/pull/4991) by [@WilliamPeralta](https://github.com/WilliamPeralta) – Fix `exportToDocx` adding blank paragraphs at the top of the document. `wrapHtmlForDocx` emitted a `<!DOCTYPE html>` and indented the template; html-to-docx (html-to-vdom) keeps the DOCTYPE and the whitespace-only text nodes between tags and renders each as a blank paragraph. The wrapper now emits tight markup with no DOCTYPE.
