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
What I've seen is indeed to store the compiled HTML in a seperate row in the database. Just have one row 'content' and another 'content_html', and save the compiled HTML in the 'content_html' row.
(Surely you have some kind of save method that you can override to do this?)
