textinput in Twine 2

Wally

Hello,

Is there any particular reason that the textinput macro from Twine 1.x isn't implemented in Twine 2? Or is there now a better way to handle user textinputs? (Note: I'm interested in a lengthy input, multiline if possible, so I'd rather not use a dialog box).

Thanks.

I spent all day searching for this, as a new Twine user and finally found this:
