    Hi,

    I am looking for the best way
    - to generate html code from a source file (newsletter_preview.php)
    - display it in a text area
    - hit a button (= copy html code)
    - use for a newsletter

    Any tips?

    highlight_file() uses span tags to colorize the code, theirfore if you wish to include that within a textarea its not directly possible without retaining the tags produced by highlight_file(), (you could use strip_tags() but that would strip other tags too..)

    However what you could do is use a css to mimic a textareas functionality... (which would mean the code would remain colorized but would only display the code being colorized)
