In this article we will discuss the HTML tag that is used to control the editing for multi-line plain-text in HTML.

The <textarea> tag in HTML defines a multi-line plain-text editing control. It will be created with n rows and n columns. so we can say that the size of the text area will depend upon the number of rows and the number of columns.

Total textarea can be calculate using below formula:

textarea = number_of_rows * number_of_columns

Syntax:

<textarea>Your_Text...</textarea>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <h1>GeeksForGeeks - textarea</h1>

        <textarea rows="5" cols="5">
        Hi Geek
        </textarea>
        <br>
        <input type="submit" value="submit">
    </form>
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <h1>GeeksForGeeks - textarea</h1>
    <form action="#">
