## 35. text-area

text-area(`key`, `value`, ..., `key`, `value`)

Inserts in generated content a (multi-line) text area control. This control can be used to edit the value of the element which is the target of the CSS rule. If "attribute, `attribute_name`" is specified, this control can be used to edit the value of an attribute of this target element.

Key | Value | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
attribute | Qualified name of attribute to be edited | No default | Without this parameter, the control is used to edit the value of the element for which the control has been generated.
columns | Positive integer | None (the text field expands when the document view is resized) | Width of the control in characters.
rows | Positive integer | 3 | Number of lines displayed by the control
wrap | none | line | word | none | Specifies how text lines are wrapped.

`Key`, `value`, ..., `key`, `value` may also specify style parameters.

Example:

    text-area(attribute, value,
              columns, 40,
              rows, 2,
              wrap, word)
