CSS:

.paperlines
{
    background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, white 10px, transparent 10px), -webkit-linear-gradient(right, white 10px, transparent 10px), -webkit-linear-gradient(white 30px, #ccc 30px, #ccc 31px, white 31px);
    background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, white 10px, transparent 10px), -moz-linear-gradient(right, white 10px, transparent 10px), -moz-linear-gradient(white 30px, #ccc 30px, #ccc 31px, white 31px);

    background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, white 10px, transparent 10px), -o-linear-gradient(right, white 10px, transparent 10px), -o-linear-gradient(white 30px, #ccc 30px, #ccc 31px, white 31px);

    background-size: 100% 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 31px;

Create an image like one line using some basic image tools and add it like background

in a text area

Add CSS:

textarea {
 background: url('path of image') repeat-y;
}


Note. Make the image the same height as the font you are going to use in the text area.

Hope it helps
