title: HTML textarea: slightly extended functionality
body: <p>In a web application I am developing, I need a slightly extended functionality for a HTML textarea: I can let users click items in a list so they appear in the textarea, but I want these things to be a single stylable "object" with its own color in this textarea.</p>
  
  <p>For example, the list contains something that looks like this : <code>&lt;--test--&gt;</code>. In the textarea, this needs to be stylable (color, bold, border, etc...) Also it would be nice if the user deletes one character of this, the entire word gets deleted.</p>
  
  <p>What would be the best thing to use, beside a fully functional RTE? Some JQuery simulated textarea would be nice.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: IE8 support required at least</p>
