Is there a way to add bullet points to an HTML textarea?

I want to add a simple feature where a bullet point is added for every line in a text area (similar to a list bullet points).

You can't do that but there is another way. delete the textarea.

'<section id="textarea" contenteditable="true">
<ul>
    <li>List item here</li>
    <li>List item here</li>
    <li>List item here</li>
    <li>List item here</li>
</ul>

</section>'
