Bootstrapping HTML onto text area or other text fields

Sorry: I see that rich text field covers this.
\\\\\\\\\\\

anyone know of a way to get some html tags to work inside a text area (paragraphs in particular, or line breaks)?

I’ve heard of using <div class=”editable”></div>, but I don’t know how to insert it into css.
