The Text display format renders field values as plain textual content inside the editor and on the frontend. This is the most commonly used display format and is available for many field types that store textual, numeric, or selectable values.

Because the output is rendered as normal text content, the block integrates naturally with WordPress typography and spacing controls, making it easy to style fields directly from the editor.
