Research direction
Start with the existing “create text with” block, its two inputs, hover text, and gear configuration shown in the issue. Determine whether a distinct single-value conversion block, clearer naming, or both best addresses the confusion; done means a newcomer can find and use number-to-text conversion without configuring the block indirectly.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I'd like to be able to easily convert numbers to strings using blocks. Here's a simple example of a program where this would be useful
The 'create text with' block that exists currently has two inputs, and the hover text says "create text by joining together any number of items"
As the image of the block has two 'inputs' it is not clear that this block can also be used for a single item (although I agree 'any number of items' does clearly include one item!):
Using the 'gear' on the 'create text with' block you can achieve this
However, I think it would be much clearer to add another block, perhaps "Convert to text" and the "create text with" could be "Combine items into text" or similar?
