We do have a <js:TextArea> and it does have an html property. I honestly haven't used it in a long time. But give it a try and let us know how well it does the job you want.
If you isn't doing what you want, reply to this email thread and we can offer some pointers. It might be to file a bug, give you some better directions, or it might be to encourage you to extend the component and contribute your changes back. Try it and lets see what happens.
