In an HTML form, a textarea element is used to collect a sizeable amount of text. You can enter more text than a regular text input, but it's still just plain text. In this video we'll look at how to allow the user of a form to add formatting to the content. We'll also learn how to do it securely to avoid code injection. We'll look at using HTML directly, using a plain-text markup language like Markdown, and using a rich-text editor in the browser like TinyMCE.
