Note:

When prefilling the textarea, please add HTML escaped content to the template to avoid any XSS security issues or nesting errors with existing HTML.

Example to escape content in Python:

import html
escaped_html = html.escape(unescaped_html)

Example to escape content in JavaScript:

const escaped_html = unescaped_html
    .replaceAll("&", "&")
    .replaceAll("&lt;", "<")
    .replaceAll("&gt;", ">")
    .replaceAll("&quot;", '"');
