#' Create a textarea input control
#'
#' Create a textarea input control for entry of unstructured text values.
#'
#' @inheritParams textInput
#' @param height The height of the input, e.g. \code{'400px'}, or
#'   \code{'100\%'}; see \code{\link{validateCssUnit}}.
#' @param cols Value of the visible character columns of the input, e.g.
#'   \code{80}. If used with \code{width}, \code{width} will take precedence in
#'   the browser's rendering.
#' @param rows The value of the visible character rows of the input, e.g.
#'   \code{6}. If used with \code{height}, \code{height} will take precedence in
#'   the browser's rendering.
#' @param resize Which directions the textarea box can be resized. Can be one of
#'   \code{"both"}, \code{"none"}, \code{"vertical"}, and \code{"horizontal"}.
#'   The default, \code{NULL}, will use the client browser's default setting for
#'   resizing textareas.
#' @return A textarea input control that can be added to a UI definition.
