You can type text directly in the HTML editor which formats the text. Along with text formatting options, the HTML editor supports adding HTML links to text and editing the HTML source code of the text.
The text gadget displays text. If you need to add JavaScript, custom HTML code or CSS code, use an HTML gadget.
Dashboard developers can customize how the gadget appears on the dashboard using the Edit Text Gadget—General options.
