Joe Cheng dde266768c Restore HTML generating functions
These functions were temporarily ripped out of Shiny and moved
to the htmltools package. We've discovered that it's safe to
keep including them in shiny; as long as the functions in shiny
and the functions in htmltools are identical, the user won't
receive a conflict warning.

\title{Create a select list input control}
\usage{
selectInput(inputId, label, choices, selected = NULL, multiple = FALSE,
selectize = TRUE, width = NULL)
selectizeInput(inputId, ..., options = NULL, width = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{inputId}{Input variable to assign the control's value to}
\item{label}{Display label for the control, or \code{NULL}}
\item{choices}{List of values to select from. If elements of the list are
named then that name rather than the value is displayed to the user.}
\item{selected}{The initially selected value (or multiple values if
\code{multiple = TRUE}). If not specified then defaults to the first value
for single-select lists and no values for multiple select lists.}
\item{multiple}{Is selection of multiple items allowed?}
\item{selectize}{Whether to use \pkg{selectize.js} or not.}
\item{...}{Arguments passed to \code{selectInput()}.}
\item{options}{A list of options. See the documentation of \pkg{selectize.js}
for possible options (character option values inside \code{\link{I}()} will
be treated as literal JavaScript code; see \code{\link{renderDataTable}()}
for details).}
\item{width}{The width of the input, e.g. \code{'400px'}, or \code{'100\%'};
see \code{\link{validateCssUnit}}.}
}
\value{
A select list control that can be added to a UI definition.
}
\description{
Create a select list that can be used to choose a single or
multiple items from a list of values.
}
\details{
By default, \code{selectInput()} and \code{selectizeInput()} use the
JavaScript library \pkg{selectize.js} (\url{https://github.com/brianreavis/selectize.js})
to instead of the basic select input element. To use the standard HTML select
input element, use \code{selectInput()} with \code{selectize=FALSE}.
}
\note{
The selectize input created from \code{selectizeInput()} allows
deletion of the selected option even in a single select input, which will
return an empty string as its value. This is the default behavior of
\pkg{selectize.js}. However, the selectize input created from
\code{selectInput(..., selectize = TRUE)} will ignore the empty string
value when it is a single choice input and the empty string is not in the
\code{choices} argument. This is to keep compatibility with
\code{selectInput(..., selectize = FALSE)}.
