# Textarea Component

Textarea components capture multi-line text input from users, perfect for messages, comments, descriptions, and long-form content. Built with native HTML textarea elements and enhanced with Tailwind CSS styling, textareas support multiple sizes, colors, and states. Accessible and fully customizable, they integrate seamlessly into forms and communication interfaces.

CSS uniquement, aucun JavaScript requis. WCAG AA accessible et indépendant du framework – fonctionne avec Django, HTMX, Laravel, React et n'importe quelle pile.

## Advanced Markdown Editor

Use `markdown-text-editor` to turn any textarea into a full markdown editor.
 Two modes are available: **plain** (raw Markdown syntax) and **hybrid** (renders formatting live as you type).
 For more configuration options see [the plugin docs](https://frutjam.com/plugins/markdown-editor).

### Plain Mode

Displays raw Markdown syntax. Users write Markdown directly in the textarea.

### Hybrid Mode

Renders formatting live as you type — bold, headings, lists, and more appear styled inline.
