    Yes. Then only apply the HTML escaping (htmlspecialchars) when you want to edit your content.

    If you want to output it as raw HTML (meaning it becomes a functional <textarea>+text), then do not apply said HTML escaping.

    You cannot use the same htmlescaped data for both purposes. You have to apply it depending on what you want to do with it, and best only right before you do so.
