Why should I use the profile field type Multiline text ?


It allows users to enter text. Users can also use line breaks and create lists. It's just a bigger text field which is not limited to a single line. It's a great field type for a short user introduction.


The multiline text also allows users to enter links. Those links will become clickable.
