See my answer here on how to format selected text. Unfortunately, an HTML textarea component simply won't display HTML formatted text. You could certainly check out some HTML/JS rich text editor components such as TinyMCE instead of trying to write your own.

EDIT: You could apply my above answer to an editable div (or some other element that displays formatting) using @elclanrs link.
