# CLIPTextEncodeControlnet - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> The CLIP Text Encode (Controlnet) node encodes a text prompt with a CLIP model and adds the resulting text encoding to existing conditioning data.

The CLIP Text Encode (Controlnet) node encodes a text prompt with a CLIP model and adds the resulting text encoding to existing conditioning data. It stores the text embeddings as controlnet cross-attention parameters inside each conditioning entry, so the returned conditioning carries that extra controlnet information.

## Inputs

| Parameter      | Description                                                                                    | Data Type    | Required | Range |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | -------- | ----- |
| `clip`         | The CLIP model used for text tokenization and encoding                                         | CLIP         | Yes      | -     |
| `conditioning` | Existing conditioning data to be combined with the CLIP text encoding                          | CONDITIONING | Yes      | -     |
| `text`         | The text prompt to be processed by the CLIP model. Supports multiline text and dynamic prompts | STRING       | Yes      | -     |

**Note:** All three inputs (`clip`, `conditioning`, and `text`) are required for this node to function. The `text` input supports multiline text and dynamic prompts for flexible text processing. This node is marked as experimental in the source code.

## Outputs

| Output Name    | Description                                                                                                                                                                  | Data Type    |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| `CONDITIONING` | Enhanced conditioning data with the added controlnet cross-attention parameters (`cross_attn_controlnet` and `pooled_output_controlnet`) derived from the CLIP text encoding | CONDITIONING |
