rows and cols defines how many lines (rows) and characters (letters, numbers, punctuations and special characters are counted as columns) are visible on the textarea, respectively. In the example, the textarea was told to prepare an area that would fit 7 rows (lines) with each line fits a maximum of 35 characters.

Try to read this tutorial first, then you can ask if you still find difficulties, I'll try to explain it, though I doubt I could do better than the tutorial : ) https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_white-space.asp

Paste this in a blank web code HTML tab, I hope this helps you see the difference : ) <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>CSS white-space</title> </head> <body> <p>Text with white-space : <strong>pre</strong></p> <textarea rows="7" cols="35" style="white-space:pre;"> Well, by w3schools' definition, pre ONLY wraps the text on line breaks, but the pre-wrap wraps the text on line breaks and as necessary (as browser sees it). Have you experimented with using this options yet? I guess you might find it clearer with visual testing. </textarea> <p>Text with white-space : <strong>pre-wrap</strong></p> <textarea rows="7" cols="35" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> Well, by w3schools' definition, pre ONLY wraps the text on line breaks, but the pre-wrap wraps the text on line breaks and as necessary (as browser sees it). Have you experimented with using this options yet? I guess you might find it clearer with visual testing. </textarea> </body> </html>
