📝 Input Text (Multiline) 📝

There's nothing clever going on here, and that's the point. This node is a multiline text box with one input and one output - you type a string in, you get the same string out as a STRING. It exists because ComfyUI doesn't ship a generic multiline text widget you can wire out of by default, and the Ollama nodes in this pack often need long, multi-paragraph text as an input - a document to summarize with OllamaTextDescriber, a block of text to reformat with TextTransformer, or a prompt template you want to edit without digging into a node's own widget.

Where it actually earns its keep is reuse and organization: instead of typing the same long system prompt or document text directly into a widget buried inside another node, you keep it here as its own visible block, wire it out to wherever it's needed, and can swap or duplicate it without hunting through nested node widgets. It also makes long text visually obvious in the graph - a large multiline box stands out, where the same text tucked into a small node widget is easy to miss.

The input and output that matter

• string (multiline, default empty) - the only input, and it's just a text box. There's no character limit stated in the node's schema, but remember that whatever you type here eventually gets sent as part of a prompt to an LLM, so extremely long text will eat into your num_ctx budget on whichever Ollama node consumes it downstream.
• Output is a single STRING - wire it into any of the pack's prompt, system_context, or text inputs, or really anywhere ComfyUI expects a string.

That's the complete interface. No model, no API call, nothing that needs Ollama running - this node works entirely offline and instantly.

How to install it

Bundled with the rest of the pack - no separate install. Via ComfyUI Manager, search "ComfyUI-Ollama-Describer" and install. Manually:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/alisson-anjos/ComfyUI-Ollama-Describer.git
pip install -r requirements.txt   # or install.bat on Windows

Restart ComfyUI.

Common issues & troubleshooting

Honestly, there isn't much that can go wrong with a text box. If something downstream isn't picking up the text you typed, the almost-certain cause is the wire itself - check the output is actually connected to the input you think it is, since it's easy to leave a node floating unconnected in a busy graph and not notice. Past that, the only thing worth remembering is that this node holds static text: if you need something that changes per-run (a random prompt, a value read from elsewhere), this isn't that - it's for text you're deliberately setting by hand.
