Taking what you said that you want literally, the answer is: you cannot. You can add css properties to a textarea, but only as a whole and not for a part of its' contents. Example:

<textarea style="font-weight:bolder">The whole text here is bold</textarea>

But I assume you want something like [URL=http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/demo.htm]this[/URL].
