-      <p>This template is similar to the Text template. The only difference is 
-      that this template opens in the Raw HTML editor rather than in the Visual
-      editor.</p>
-      <p>The Raw HTML editor saves your HTML exactly as you enter it.
-      You can switch to the Visual editor by clicking the Settings tab and 
-      changing the Editor setting to Visual. Note, however, that some of your 
-      HTML may be modified when you save the component if you switch to the 
-      Visual editor.</p>
+      <p>This is a Raw HTML editor that saves your HTML exactly as you enter it.
+      This means that even malformed HTML tags will be saved and rendered as-is.
+      There is no way to switch between Raw and Visual Text editor types, so be
+      sure this is the editor you should be using!</p>
