# Classic Editor (WYSIWYG)

Classic Editor control provides a familiar WYSIWYG editing experience within your blocks.

## Control Settings

The control adds no settings of its own, so the block builder shows only the [rows every control has](https://www.lazyblocks.com/docs/blocks-controls/overview/). **WPML Translation** is among them, which is not true of most controls.

## Usage

```php title="PHP" /$attributes['control_name']/
<div>
  <?php echo $attributes['control_name']; ?>
</div>
```

```hbs title="Handlebars" /{{{control_name}}}/
<div>
  {{{control_name}}}
</div>
```

When outputting HTML in Handlebars, use triple curly brackets: `{{{` and `}}}`

```php title="Post Meta" /get_lzb_meta( 'control_meta_name' )/
<div>
  <?php echo get_lzb_meta( 'control_meta_name' ); ?>
</div>
```
