This Smarty plugin is used when building admin forms to generate a textarea field. It has various parameter which allow controlling whether a WYSIWYG plugin is used (if available) or a syntax highlighter, and for influencing the behavior of those modules, and the size and appearance of the textarea.
The simplest way to use this plugin is by specifying {cms_textarea name="something"}. This will create a simple text area without WYSIWYG or syntax highlighter modules enabled, with the specified name.
Next, you can specify the default value for the text area by using the "text" or "value" parameters.
