you should use any html editor to to show the template with html rendered design and to edit the same with wysiwyg(What You See Is What You Get) — Ahmad Asjad, Feb 01 '16 at 10:59
you can use any html editor. Free html editors are also available in the market for the same purpose. http://ckeditor.com/demo — Ahmad Asjad, Feb 01 '16 at 11:01

Try below code:

public function actionContact() {
    $model = new ContactForm();
    if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->validate()) {

        $status = Yii::$app->mailer->compose()
            ->setTo($model->email_to)
            ->setFrom([$model->email_from => $model->email_from])
            ->setSubject($model->subject)
            ->setTextBody($model->message)
            ->send();

        if ($status) {
            Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success', 'Thank you for contacting us. We will respond to you as soon as possible.');
        } else {
            Yii::$app->session->setFlash('error', 'There was an error sending email.');
        }
        return $this->refresh();
    } else {
        return $this->render('contact', [
            'model' => $model,
        ]);
    }
}

You can also create a email_template directory under views folder and create template file in which you can set email template content.

you can use js or ajax to do the same. 1: Use jQuery: I assume that you are using jQuery. So use ajax.

.......JS Cod........
/*I assume that you have your template data in an attribute like data-template-data=""*/
$('#select_template_id').chang(function(){
    template=$(this).attr('data-template-data');
    $('#template_edit_box').val(template);
});
