I changed to tag to a more relevant one. Please edit the formatting the way HTML would look exactly like your source. After I click "Improve question", I can see that all your code is inside the element textarea, but the closing tag of it is invisible. If you know HTML you should know HTML characters entities to show HTML code.

Please see my comment: in your HTML, all code is insider your textarea element. This is wrong. This elements is designed to allow the user to enter plain text. All HTML code inside its text is not rendered as HTML and is not supposed to be. Not only it is impossible, it would not make any sense. If you need a hyperlink (rendered via anchor element), place it outside of textarea element.

You cannot do that. Because you can only put text inside the textarea and active HTML tags are not allowed. If you want a simple text with active links, then use a div as your text area.
