ui.output_text_verbatim

ui.output_text_verbatim(id, placeholder=False)

Create a output container for some text.

Place a text result in the user interface. Differs from output_text in that it wraps the text in a fixed-width container with a gray-ish background color and border.

Parameters

id: str: An output id.
placeholder: bool = False: If the output is empty or None, should an empty rectangle be displayed to serve as a placeholder? (This does not affect behavior when the output is nonempty.)

Returns

Type	Description
Tag	A UI element
