Prettify - using textarea instead of pre tag?

[Alexander]

Hi,

I have the source code inside an textarea tag. But syntax highlighting just work with pre, code or xmp tag.

Which place must be edited, that highlighting also works with the textarea tag?

Regards Alex

Unfortunately, prettify works by taking text and adding formatting elements.

<textarea> tags can't contain elements -- only the text to edit, so
their content can't be prettified.

There are other projects out there that implement syntax-highlighting
code editors in JavaScript.

I would look for projects using:
syntax highlighting
code editor
content editable

seems relevant though I can't endorse any particular answer since I
have little experience with any of these libraries.
