Textarea

Textarea are more refined compared to Text String and can be used for when you want to allow for multiple lines of text, but also open up for rich-text options

A Textarea input provides a small, multi-line rich text editor with very basic formatting options: bold, italic, underline, supertext, subtext, Link and very dear option Soft Hyphen (­) for when you want to insert a "-" in long words that may or may not risk breaking your design on various screen sizes. For further elaboration read this .

The input type also gives users access to an Emoji dropdown of various glyphs and icons to insert in their text.

Furthermore This input type has the option of creating a Link style, so you can inject the css styling for all links created in that textarea. These settings are found in the foldout called "Advanced" below each Textarea. Additionally we allow for custom text stylings in the options dropdown. This is particularly helpful for situations where you want to give the user an ability to use some custom text formatting, but only within the specific limits you set them to, for instance "font-size:35px;". In order to use this feature properly it's important that the CSS values are valid.

Works great for:

  • Body/content texts
