This method lets you create custom UI elements that are represented by arbitrary HTML.

Example
user_info = mo.md(
    '''
    - What's your name?: {name}

callout(
    kind: Literal[
        "neutral", "danger", "warn", "success", "info"
    ] = "neutral"
) -> Html

A callout wraps your HTML element in a raised box, emphasizing its importance. You can style the callout for different situations with the kind argument.

    *,
    bordered: bool = True,
    loading: bool = False,
    submit_button_label: str = "Submit",
    submit_button_tooltip: Optional[str] = None,
    submit_button_disabled: bool = False,
    clear_on_submit: bool = False,
    show_clear_button: bool = False,
    clear_button_label: str = "Clear",
    clear_button_tooltip: Optional[str] = None,
    validate: Optional[
        Callable[[Optional[JSONType]], Optional[str]]
    ] = None,

) -> form[S, T]

Create a submittable form out of this UIElement.

Examples:

prompt = mo.ui.text_area().form()

Combine with HTML.batch to create a form made out of multiple UIElements:

form = (
    mo.ui.md(
        '''
    **Enter your prompt.**

    {prompt}

    **Choose a random seed.**

    {seed}
    '''
    )
