Text input Nunjucks macro options

Use options to customise the appearance, content and behaviour of this component when using a macro, for example, changing the text.

Also see the guidance on the Text input component page, which shows these options in use within each example.

Some options are required for the macro to work; these are marked as "Required" in the option description. Deprecated options are marked as "Deprecated".

If you're using Nunjucks macros in production with "html" options, or ones ending with "html", you must sanitise the HTML to protect against cross-site scripting exploits.
