textOutput(outputId, container = if (inline) span else div, inline = FALSE)

verbatimTextOutput(outputId, placeholder = FALSE)

`outputId`	output variable to read the value from
`container`	a function to generate an HTML element to contain the text
`inline`	use an inline (`span()`) or block container (`div()`) for the output
`placeholder`	if the output is empty or `NULL`, should an empty rectangle be displayed to serve as a placeholder? (does not affect behavior when the the output in nonempty)

In both funtions, text is HTML-escaped prior to rendering.

A output element for use in UI.

## Only run this example in interactive R sessions
if (interactive()) {
  shinyApp(
    ui = basicPage(
      textInput("txt", "Enter the text to display below:"),
      textOutput("text"),
      verbatimTextOutput("verb")
    ),
    server = function(input, output) {
      output$text <- renderText({ input$txt })
      output$verb <- renderText({ input$txt })
    }
  )
