Comment (by westonruter):

 Replying to [comment:82 gitlost]:
 > I think the message here in legacy mode should be similar (and
 dismissible). It sounds a bit rich at the moment to be in effect saying
 "Oo, you shouldn't be doing it this way, you should be doing it that way"
 when that way didn't previously exist.

 @melchoyce With that in mind, what about including the word “new” before
 Custom HTML widget, something like:

 > This widget contains code that may work better in the new “HTML Code”
 widget. How about trying that widget instead?
