Would it be possible to have the “Rich text editing” option for the “Initial content” ?

Well actually you shouldn’t be seeing that button for the placeholder,. If you try you’ll see it won’t work. We’ll remove that.

For placehoder is not important but only for the initial content.  
I am using the **multiline input** to display comments from a post and i would like to display the comments author name with Bold.

I would like to use the **Text**  **element** which allows this kind of customisation but the text gets cut at the end so the only option i see is to use the **multilineinput**
