A ui:outputTextArea component represents text output that is wrapped in an HTML span tag. We recommend using lightning:formattedText instead of ui:outputText.

ui:outputTextArea can be used with ui:inputTextArea, which takes in a multiline text input. To apply Lightning Design System styling, we recommend that you use lightning:textarea instead of ui:inputTextArea.

To display text, you can use an attribute value and bind it to the ui:outputTextArea component. A ui:outputTextArea component displays URLs and email addresses as hyperlinks.

To display record data for Salesforce objects, use lightning:outputField with lightning:recordViewForm, or use lightning:recordForm. To display record data with a custom layout, use force:recordData.
