You can use button in Html as

<input type="button" value="Click Here" />      // value= Text to show

Submit button

<input type="submit" value="Click Here to Submit" />

Multiline TextBox

<textarea rows="10" cols="25" />   // can define rows and columns

Use value='your text' Attribute for the text of the button.

<input id='SubmitComments' name='SubmitComments' type='button' value='your text'/>

As for multiline, I assume that is for a text box. Buttons don't hear multiple lines.

Use a textarea element for multi line text input.

<textarea id='yourTextBoxName' name='yourTextBoxName' rows='5' />
