I've just started prototyping with Woody and I think it is a
diamond in the raw. Finally a form handling package that does
not require you to write a bean class or Cocoon action for
every little form!
Coming to the original question: There is no special textarea widget
but you can emulate it easily by a field widget with styling:
<wt:widget id="question">
<xhtml:textarea rows="5" cols="30"
wrap="physical"/>
</wt:widget>
which is then transformed into HTML as:
<xsl:template match="wi:field[wi:styling/xhtml:textarea]">
<xhtml:textarea name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
<xsl:apply-templates select="wi:styling/xhtml:textarea/@*"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="wi:value != ''">
<xsl:value-of select="wi:value"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="' '"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xhtml:textarea>
</xsl:template>
