Answer 1

But how? <textarea> doesn't support anchors, it only supports text.

In case <textarea> value was "Lorem ipsum" and user select word "ipsum", how should it be?

Answer 2

Adding <a> to a textarea is pointless. The hyperlink won't work no matter how.

Tell me more about your idea, I don't know what to suggest until it's clear what you actually want to do.

Answer 3

Did the e-mail get sent successfully? more specifically, did the hyperlinks work?

Can you save the code in SoloLearn and share its link? I hope people can understand you better after they see your code and thus they can suggest something appropriately.

I see you already asked this topic 3 months ago, and someone had answered you back then. Did you try the suggestion? how did it work?

Answer 4

Maybe this might help
You change the variable data ( "<" + tag + ">" ) to something like this include the <a href="#"> link text </a>
