[3.0.3] Looking to Create vB Messagearea

[dndog]

I am working with a form that uses a textbox. Currently, the textbox is just that, and I was wondering which templates I would need to call to render that textbox (and give it all the same functions) as a standard vB messagearea. In other words, I need to change this from a textbox into a messagearea with no html parsing, only bbcode. Further, a later page that the textbox content is output to needs to be able to render the bbcode, and, still, not the html.

Any kind souls able to point me toward the templates or scripts that I would need to look into to achieve this?

You want to incorporate vbulletin's wysiwyg? I haven't tried the task for 3.0.x, but I hear it's very annoying thing to do.
