HTML Textarea Defualt text? (Like layout)

Question

i want a default layout user can use for textarea. and not a placeholder... sort of a pre-text type of thing. how would i approach this? ive tried using DOM to add innerHTML and innerText, cant find anything on google so hopefully someone here can help.

for example

Something like this

(This isnt a placeholder) its a layout for user to go off.

Can you be a little more specific about what you're trying to accomplish? Can you post any relevant examples? — Jon Warren, Dec 05 '19 at 19:24

You can set the text of a textarea programmatically by accessing the value property.

For instance:

document.getElementById("myTextarea").value = "Some default text";
