+# MaskedInput
+
+!!! tip "Added in version 0.80.0"
+
+A masked input derived from `Input`, allowing to restrict user input and give visual aid via a simple template mask, which also acts as an implicit *[validator][textual.validation.Validator]*.
+
+- [x] Focusable
+- [ ] Container
+
+## Example
+
+The example below shows a masked input to ease entering a credit card number.
+
+=== "Output"
+
+    ```{.textual path="docs/examples/widgets/masked_input.py"}
+    ```
+
+=== "checkbox.py"
+
+    ```python
+    --8<-- "docs/examples/widgets/masked_input.py"

+
+### The template string format
+
+A `MaskedInput` template length defines the maximum length of the input value. Each character of the mask defines a regular expression used to restrict what the user can insert in the corresponding position, and whether the presence of the character in the user input is required for the `MaskedInput` value to be considered valid, according to the following table:
+
+| Mask character | Regular expression | Required? |
+| -------------- | ------------------ | --------- |
+| `A`            | `[A-Za-z]`         | Yes       |
+| `a`            | `[A-Za-z]`         | No        |
+| `N`            | `[A-Za-z0-9]`      | Yes       |
+| `n`            | `[A-Za-z0-9]`      | No        |
+| `X`            | `[^ ]`             | Yes       |
+| `x`            | `[^ ]`             | No        |
+| `9`            | `[0-9]`            | Yes       |
+| `0`            | `[0-9]`            | No        |
+| `D`            | `[1-9]`            | Yes       |
+| `d`            | `[1-9]`            | No        |
+| `#`            | `[0-9+\-]`         | No        |
+| `H`            | `[A-Fa-f0-9]`      | Yes       |
+| `h`            | `[A-Fa-f0-9]`      | No        |
+| `B`            | `[0-1]`            | Yes       |
+| `b`            | `[0-1]`            | No        |
+
+There are some special characters that can be used to control automatic case conversion during user input: `>` converts all subsequent user input to uppercase; `<` to lowercase; `!` disables automatic case conversion. Any other character that appears in the template mask is assumed to be a separator, which is a character that is automatically inserted when user reaches its position. All mask characters can be escaped by placing `\` in front of them, allowing any character to be used as separator.
+The mask can be terminated by `;c`, where `c` is any character you want to be used as placeholder character. The `placeholder` parameter inherited by `Input` can be used to override this allowing finer grain tuning of the placeholder string.
