Better name for "Plain" formatter?

Created on 20 August 2025, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

In several projects we had the feedback from site builders, that "Plain" is a bit misleading for the formatter that uses the twig template and is thereby more flexible.

Perhaps it's our interpretation, but "Plain" sounds somewhat like "Raw" or "Simple".

I'm not a native speaker, so maybe someone has a good idea for a label improvement?

Steps to reproduce

See the "Plain" formatter name and think it's a very simple, raw one.

Proposed resolution

Think of a bit more self-explaning human readable name, maybe:

  • Plain (Twig)
  • Formatted
  • ...?
