Code (Syntax Highlighting) Field

The Code (Syntax Highlighting) field can store multi-line code content. It is intended for large amounts of source code and can store any amount of code.

For HTML text or to use a WYSIWYG editor, you may want to use the WYSIWYG (Visual Editor) Field.

For plain text without a WYSIWYG editor or HTML, you may want to use the Paragraph Text Field.

For shorter text, you may want to use the Plain Text Field.
