Visual editor or Rich text editor?

A question for english-speaking colleagues:

Several FAQs refer to "Rich text editor" as opposed to HTML editor, whereas in the interface it is called "Visual editor". What is the right option, ater all?

I'm not sure which is "right" or anything, but I see them both used interchangeably by both LJ Support volunteers and general users on the site.

It used to be called the Rich Text Editor, before the revamp of the update page in 2012. We should check to see if it's still using that name on any of the old site schemes (I'm pretty sure it isn't though) and update the FAQs to reflect the new terminology. It'd be best though to continue using the "Rich Text" term somewhere in the FAQ so that old-school users used to the old name can still find the FAQ they are looking for
