New text editor update issues; No way to superscript text?

Question

Not sure why the Klaviyo team decided to get rid of the source text editor option. Especially when it was useful with the lack of editor capabilities.

I used it all the time to superscript text and now I do not have the option. I am using a workaround with HTML block, but I’m now running into the issue that my body copy is not connecting to the body copy style I have set. I’m using paragraph tags for the body copy, I tried div tags too, but neither are working.

Any other workarounds or tips would be super helpful! Or if the source text feature could be brought back😅

In germany we unfortunately have a word for what Klaviyo is doing “Verschlimmbessern” (making thingsworse while trying to make them better ^^). I also don’t see a point why that option was removed and why someone in the usability compartment thought that no one needed that source code editor. The html element is not a 1:1 replacement for it.Luckily I still see the source code for “old” emails so hopefully I can find a way to keep it for a while (maybe someone can start a petition and make them revoce their “fix” before we run into more issues^^).
