HTML Widget adds a new widget that can be used for displaying any custom HTML in a easy to use way. The syntax highlighting makes the code clear and readable which makes your widgets easier to manage. Only users with sufficient capabilities can use all HTML elements, while users with limited capabilities can only use safe HTML that is allowed in posts.

HTML Widget

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.
