Is it possible to format specific text within a textarea? For instance, if I wanted to display html code within a textarea, but the HTML code would be a different color than the regular text... is this possible?

I don't know. but if you're prepared to go to the trouble of formatting the displayed code, why not do it on the page? Just use < > for the angle-brackets and you're ready to go.

With a textarea, you can style the element itself, or you can create a class/id that you use for just some of the textarea elements on your site. But any rules must apply to the entire textarea element - there's no way to style just a portion of textarea content.
