Hi All,

Is it possible to render a component inside of a textarea? I just want the HTML dumped into the textarea.

myComponent
<h1 style="font-size:100px">Test</h1>

<textarea><myComponent></myComponent></textarea>

Hi, a textarea is meant to provide a text input on multiple lines. What are you trying to achieve?

Just trying to dump the HTML that the component generates. That way the user can copy it

It can't work, you need to implement your own logic to get the html version of the rendered component

Maybe a "dumb" elementRef.nativeElement.outerHTML

#

or inner

#

You'll likely get a lot of "garbage" attributes/classes/etc though
