How to store lightweight formatting (Textile, Markdown) in database?

Question

I\'m going to be implementing a lightweight formatting language (probably Textile, maybe Markdown) in a project I\'m working on, and I\'m wonder how best to store it in the data

Answer 1

Store markdown:

• Every view = conversion
• Every edit = no processing

Store html

• Every view = no processing
• Every edit = convert to markdown and back

Store both

• Every view = no processing
• Every edit = convert to html after edit

You have to weigh up your processing costs vs. your storage cost.
