All of the text in a textarea contains the same formatting. You would have to use an iframe or a scrolling div if you want to do something like that, but those cannot be typed in. If you want to type in it, it all takes one format.

You'll want ot put it outside the text area...it will save many headaches.something like this maybe?\

<div style="text-align:center">  <span style="text-decoration:underline">Updates</span><br/>  <textarea......>updates here</textarea></div>

Or just don't use a textarea lol :)You can enheight and enwidth a div and force it to show scrollbars if the content overflows it Would be the same as a textarea, but without the possibility to edit the content, hence much safer
