Text Widget is used where a user wants to insert multiline text fields. This widget can be used for a variety of applications where the multiline text is required such as messaging, sending information or displaying information and many other tasks. We can insert media files such as images and links also in the Textwidget.
Syntax:
T = Text(root, bg, fg, bd, height, width, font, ..)
Optional parameters
Some Common methods
Tag handling methods
Mark handling methods
Example 1:
import tkinter as tk
root = Tk()
# specify size of window.
root.geometry("250x170")
# Create text widget and specify size.
T = Text(root, height = 5, width = 52)
# Create label
l = Label(root, text = "Fact of the Day")
l.config(font =("Courier", 14))
Fact = """A man can be arrested in
Italy for wearing a skirt in public."""
# Create button for next text.
b1 = Button(root, text = "Next", )
# Create an Exit button.
b2 = Button(root, text = "Exit",
command = root.destroy)
l.pack()
T.pack()
b1.pack()
b2.pack()
# Insert The Fact.
T.insert(tk.END, Fact)
tk.mainloop()

Example 2: Saving Text and performing operations
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.geometry("300x300")
root.title(" Q&A ")
def Take_input():
INPUT = inputtxt.get("1.0", "end-1c")
print(INPUT)
if(INPUT == "120"):
Output.insert(END, 'Correct')
else:
Output.insert(END, "Wrong answer")
l = Label(text = "What is 24 * 5 ? ")
inputtxt = Text(root, height = 10,
width = 25,
bg = "light yellow")
Output = Text(root, height = 5,
width = 25,
bg = "light cyan")
Display = Button(root, height = 2,
width = 20,
text ="Show",
command = lambda:Take_input())
l.pack()
inputtxt.pack()
Display.pack()
Output.pack()
mainloop()
