What's the difference between the text widget and the rich text widget?

Question

There are two text widgets - one called text and one called rich text.

What's the difference and when should I use which one?

Answer 1

 

	Inserts text in the normal paragraph styling to your site. It erases all HTML and CSS trash (tags, styles, etc.), but leaves exactly what you expect and need: bold, italic, underline, links, lists, paragraphs, line breaks. All styles are automatically transformed to already defined website styles.
	Very powerful text editor allowing insertion of tables, media, files images as well as control and editing of all elements created with the rich text block. Note: This block is for advanced users. For simple and quick insertion of text we recommend using the text block.
