Code Explanation

<label for="desc" class="form-label d-block mb-2 fs-6">Description</label>
<textarea id="desc" rows="4" class="form-control p-2.5 w-100 fs-6 border-dark" placeholder="Write your thoughts here..."></textarea>

1. Label Element (<label>):

• The for="desc" attribute associates the label with the textarea input having the id "desc". It means clicking on the label will focus the associated textarea.
• The class="form-label d-block mb-2 fs-6" attribute applies several Bootstrap classes to the label:
  • form-label: A Bootstrap class for styling form labels.
  • d-block: Makes the label display as a block element, causing it to take up the full width of its container.
  • mb-2: Applies margin-bottom of 2 units to the label, creating space below it.
  • fs-6: Sets the font size of the label to 6, which corresponds to a specific size defined in Bootstrap's typography system.

2. Textarea Element (<textarea>):

• The id="desc" attribute provides a unique identifier for the textarea, which is referenced by the label.
• The rows="4" attribute specifies the initial number of visible text lines for the textarea.
• The class="form-control p-2.5 w-100 fs-6 border-dark" attribute applies several Bootstrap classes to the textarea:
  • form-control: A Bootstrap class for styling form controls, including textareas.
  • p-2.5: Adds padding of 2.5 units to all sides of the textarea, creating space between the content and the textarea's border.
  • w-100: Sets the width of the textarea to 100% of its container, making it span the entire width.
  • fs-6: Sets the font size of the textarea to 6, matching the font size of the label.
  • border-dark: Applies a dark border to the textarea, which might be defined in Bootstrap's utility classes to use a specific color for borders.
