that is allowed in posts.

I can’t click on drop downs for widget areas or individual widgets after installing
this. Deleted the plugin and the widget editing was back to normal.

Syntax highlighting and auto close tags. Woot! Great job.

This plugin replaces the lost functionality that the updated Text widget took away
and it ends up being better than the one coming into core in 4.8.1 by adding syntax
highlighting and autocompletion.

Syntax highlighting with auto closing tags is a big time saver and makes it much
more pleasant to add HTML to widget areas.
