The onclick attribute is delimited by double quotes, so you can't use
those inside the attribute value. It will come out as

onClick="makeTextarea(0, "test_text")"

The second " ends the attribute value. Try this:

'<p onClick="makeTextarea(' + counter + ",'" + ptext2 + '\')">'

Thanks for your patience Stefan. To help me better understand the
quoting mix I replaced each escaped quote with its HTML entity
character &quot;. It worked!

'<p onClick="makeTextarea('+counter+',&quot;'+ptext+'&quot;)">'
