Creating an app to allow users to input information in a field and have it...

...appear inside an HTML doc.? Hi. Not sure that I worded the question right because I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for or what it's called.

What I want to accomplish is to make a simple program that will allow somebody to input text (like a description of an item they are selling) and have it automatically inserted into a certain spot on an HTML document.

I'm not looking for an existing program to do this nor am I looking for a WYSIWYG editor. I want to be able to supply a field for someone to type information into, then have it applied to an HTML template by having them click a button. After this is accomplished, I want to be able to show them the HTML so they can copy and paste it.

Any ideas on where to start even looking into how to do this?
Guess I should have maybe included this to help....

I am building an html template for somebody to use for an online auction. The problem is she has no knowledge on how to edit the template with her item description, contact information and terms. I want to give her the option of typing what she wants to say into a box then having it inserted into the template. I know a basic html editor can accomplish this but I want to build my own so everything is together in one place and there is no need to download and learn an editor. It does not need to be anything fancy or have any other features besides what I mentioned above and to give the finished html code after all the information has been applied.
