    "The `AutocompleteInput` widget allows selecting a `value` from a list or dictionary of `options` by entering the value into an auto-completing text field. It falls into the broad category of single-value, option-selection widgets that provide a compatible API and include the [`RadioBoxGroup`](RadioBoxGroup.ipynb), [`Select`](Select.ipynb) and [`DiscreteSlider`](DiscreteSlider.ipynb) widgets.\n",
