Nope.. and PHP would be the last one to help as what you're after is
client-side, whereas PHP is server-side.

The "best" formatting you could get would be indentation by means of
spaces, but that's pretty much the extent of it all.

What you're really looking for I think, would be a Java solution where
this would be possible, but I have idea about Java, never had the urge to
try and learn it, but would enable the results of what you're after.

Simple ...

<TEXTAREA ROWS="5" NAME="comments" COLS="30" STYLE="color: #336699;
font-family: Arial"></TEXTAREA>

Re: formatting textarea

So your example would be ...

<TEXTAREA STYLE="font-weight: bold"></TEXTAREA>
