Is it possible to type the sentence, then delete the last words and retype different words? Also show the blinking caret/cursor when typing or deleting characters.

I.e. something like here: https://www.particle.io/

Yes, you can delete previously typed sentences, see example #3 on the site: use a <delete> element.

If you want a caret, there's two options: * put your tply source into a span, then after the span create and style your own caret. * contribute to the repo and add an easier way to have a caret (:
