Rails - Jun 2006 - formatting inside a <textarea>

I tried to put formatted text out to the browser when it was inside a textarea
and got to
look at markup.  This might just be an HTML question.  Is there a construct that
will let
me bound the size of text display with rows and cols  like <textarea> but
also let me
html-format the internal text?  I suppose I could hack up a table to use
percentages.
 
Maybe there is a CSS solution where I sort of roll my own <div> that has
some properties
of limiting size.  Theoretically there could be a way.

Of course there is a way.  I''ve even used it, a while back.  overflow:
scroll, or
overflow-y: auto.  Et cetera.
