how to set css and html in textarea

Question

Is it possible to set a mark (html) in textarea? Because (I think thats for everyone clear) if you set: <textarea><mark>this text has a mark</mark></textarea> that this not works

Is it just possible to give an element in a textarea an exact color?

If I understand well your question, you want to know if it is possible to include HTML content into a TEXTAREA element.

That is not possible, but you can look at the solution proposed by the following post, which consists in using an editable DIV element: Rendering HTML inside textarea
