For example

Fields containing text as text
Fields containing HTML as text
An image is shown as an ID or a URL as text
A select field, radio, etc. is shown as an array (text).
Fields containing an address or coordinates as text

Show values in a DIV

2) Meta Field (text and numbers)

This block shows the content of custom text and text area fields just like the paragraph and heading block.
There are several options to change the appearance.
