Textarea with Detailed Instructions Field for Svelte

Issue Description, instructions to include steps and a review within 24 hours, and a five-row box with numbered steps.

UI library: Ark UI

Issue Description is the label. Above the box, the note asks for the issue and steps to reproduce, and says the team reviews within 24 hours. The box is five rows. The placeholder is numbered: 1. I tried to... then 2. Then I...

Use it when the empty box should show the shape of a good answer. A file instead of a write-up is File Upload. Ark UI in Svelte does not open a ticket.

FAQ

Where do the instructions sit?

FieldDescription is between FieldLabel and Textarea. It asks for the issue, steps to reproduce, and says the team reviews within 24 hours.

How tall is the issue box?

rows is 5. The label is Issue Description, and FieldLabel names the textarea. Field connects the two for you, with no ids to write.

What does the placeholder show?

The placeholder is a numbered sample that starts 1. I tried to... and continues 2. Then I.... A newline entity in the placeholder string splits those steps, and the sample clears once someone types.

Do the instructions stay visible while typing?

Yes. FieldDescription stays above the box. The numbered sample is only the placeholder.

Is this field horizontal?

No. orientation is unset, so the label, the instructions, and the box stack. max-w-md caps the width.

How do I show an error under the instructions?

Keep the instructions in FieldDescription. Set invalid on Field and render the message with FieldError.
