I'm not finding where to create a text field for creating popup "Info" windows in Vision. It's display only, and needs to be big enough for a couple of paragraphs of information. Can you point me in the right direction, please?

The text area component?

Ok... I was hesitant to use this because it is labeled as an input text field. But I see that there is an "editable" property that can be turned off. I'll play around with it and see how it works.

Thanks!

~~The markdown component is also good, you get some more advanced syntax options for styling.~~

Edit: Perspective advice in a Vision thread.

I would normally use a label component for this. Html can be used to customize the info appearance.
