title: Dynamically add html tag in textarea
body: <p>Why is it that my textarea becomes <code>&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;this is a bold text&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;</code> This string is coming from database. It is saved as varchar and I can see it in the database the exact <code>&lt;b&gt;this is a bold text&lt;/b&gt;</code>.</p>
  <pre><code>var my_string=&quot;{{$string_from_db}}&quot;;
  $('#my_textarea').val(my_string);
  </code></pre>
  <p>I want to make it to dislay the exact text <code>&lt;b&gt;this is a bold text&lt;/b&gt;</code> in the text area and not the html tags.</p>
