Textarea Component FastHTML

How to fill in value for Textarea component?

Let's assume we have a form

form = Form(
Textarea(id="mytextarea", name="mytextarea", value=Item.text)
)

This does not seam to work in populating a Textarea like you can do for an Input by using the value parameter.

Passing the value as a child element might be what you're after.

Form(Textarea(item.text, id="mytextarea", name="mytextarea"))

results in a Textarea nested in a Form pre-populated with item.text

@timcol,
That was exactly it. Simple, but not very intuative. I assumed that I could only use keywords. Nut, it does make sense since the actual text in Textareas in HTML can only be input in between the tags and not as parameters.
