We can use literal control for this requirement.

  <asp:Literal id="literal1" Text="I love ASP!" runat="server" />

In C#,

   literal1.text=htmlString;

It is working good for me...

Well you cannot display a table inside TextArea but you can surely set it's css to display text in bold & italics.

You can use textarea{ font-weight: bold; font-style:italic; }

You can use TinyMCE as mentioned by nunespascal, alternatively you can use div to look like a textarea, please check the below link.

How do I make an editable DIV look like a text field?

Textbox used in general are limited in their functionality so in order to get additional editing and features, you must go through the functionality of Richtextbox. I think this link might help: Richtextbox

This is not possible with the standard textarea.

You will need a rich text edit box. There are lot of editors available for this.

Take a look at

Tiny MCE

or

jQuery based CLEditor
