Any idea how to do that?

I would suggest either using the Editor Field to create the textarea and initialise the editor, or the standard Joomla API call, eg:
$editor = JFactory::getConfig()->get('editor');
$instance = JEditor::getInstance($editor);
$instance->display('my_content', $content, 500, '100%', 20, 20);

Ryan,
thanks for your suggestion but as a kind of novice without extensive knowledge in php I need some more details on where in the php or html to place this code.
In my scenario the visitor of our website opens a page with a form. The form contains a textarea and I want this textarea to be replaced with the editor so the client can add formatted text and paste screenshots.
My html looks like this:
<textarea cols="80" rows="12" name="memo" id="txa01" style="width: auto"></textarea>

How are you creating the form? Is it form HTML added directly to an article?

I've created a Joomla plugin to facilitate this - https://github.com/widgetfactory/wf-editor-from-textarea
Once installed and enabled, set the Editor Selector in the plugin parameters as a class value that is assigned to the textarea, eg: for the textarea below, the Editor Selector will be custom-editor.
<textarea cols="80" rows="12" name="memo" id="txa01" style="width: auto" class="custom-editor"></textarea>

Thanks a lot for the plugin. Unfortunately I cannot get it working. I installed the plugin:
I activated it:
and I changed my code:
<tr>
<td>Memo:</td>
<td colspan="3" ><textarea cols="80" rows="12" name="memo" id="txa1" style="width: auto" class="wysiwyg-editor"></textarea></td>
</tr>
But the result is still a standard <textarea>
What am I doing wrong?

Is this textarea created for all users or only logged in users?
Is JCE assigned as the default editor in the Joomla Global Configuration?

I do have JCE selected in System - Configuration - Standard Editor.
The <textarea> is used for logged in and not logged in users.

This was just an issue with plugin ordering. The Editor from Textarea plugin needed to be ordered after the Sourcerer plugin, so that the content was generated first, before the Editor from Textarea was activated.
It is fixed and appears to be working OK on your site.

Good morning Ryan,
it works fine when being logged in as admin-user. But unfortunately it does not work when being logged in as normal user. I have created another username for you, so you can check.
Thanks

You need an editor profile that is assigned to this user group. The only editor profile that you currently have assigned to a usergroup is assigned to the Super User, which is why you don't see an editor loaded for a "normal user".
