Selecting “No formatting” will not convert any tags and you will see any HTML displayed as normal text similar to regular content. Can anyone tell me how do I append text in a textarea element without replacing the original data?? It is possible to use scripts to add the text for HTML tags within a textarea, however browsers will not render it as HTML, only as text. then add the rest of the line by css: #text1::-webkit-input-placeholder::after { display:block; content:"Line 2\A Line 3"; } HTML
