This markup is only useful inside {form} markup (see the previous section).
You use this to add a text field into the form.

Usage

{text label:"Reason for complaint" required:true lines:8}

label
The visible label shown next to the field.

[required]
If you set this to "true" then the user cannot submit the form without entering some value here. Setting this to any other value or leaving it out means that the field is optional.

[lines]
Setting this to "true" displays a text area 10 lines high. You can also explicitly set this to any other integer number of lines. If this value is not set, a single line text field will be shown.

[maxlength]
This can be set to any integer value greater than 1 and limits the input in this field to this number of characters. Note that spaces count toward this maximum.
