  Hi,

  Wordpress decided to remove the standard or classic editor.
  This article explains that.

  There is a Classic block that looks like the classic editor that you seem to be used to using and seeing. This will give you the information that should help you use the Classic block.

  If you are having trouble with using blocks this also may help you.

  You can ask in this forum for more help as well.

  Hi there, which website is this happening on?

  Even if your site has the WordPress block editor enabled by default, you shouldn’t be seeing code in the Editor.

  If you are using the Classic Editor, is it possible you’ve accidentally clicked on the HTML tab rather than the Visual tab?
  

  If that didn’t answer your question, please share a screenshot so we can see what you are seeing. https://wordpress.com/support/make-a-screenshot/
