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

I'm currently using Markdown with PHP. I store the markdown-source in the database, and I display the Converted Version upon request. I have no performance issues, and am very happy with this setup.
