</DxContextMenu>

@code {
    List<TextFormattingMenuItem> menuItems;

    abstract class TextFormattingMenuItem {
        protected TextFormattingMenuItem(TextFormatting textFormatting, string text) {
            TextFormatting = textFormatting;
            Text = text;
        }

        public TextFormatting TextFormatting { get; }
        public string Text { get; }
        public List<TextFormattingMenuItem> Children { get; set; }
    }
}
