Cannot render elements with `type` of `text` or `span` using `types`

It seems text and span elements default to their own render functions, even when overridden with the types object. Is thus to be expected?

You can implement renderers for specific marks (eg annotated text spans) using the marks prop, but not the very leaf nodes (pure text). Do you have a use case for customizing the latter?

Eh? More that I am using this in React Native, and renderText simply outputs a string, so I need to make sure that I always wrap those in a Text component. It's doable, but the lack of control feels weird to me. I am merely working on the consuming side though. I am not a content editor, so I don't know what processes they have.

Have you tried using @portabletext/react-native? It should use Text by default

[ngregory-rbi]

We have our own custom Text component that we use. Currently, I am using it for the different block types, so that works so far. I'm not sure though how it will work in different scenarios.
