Re: [PHP] Storing, formatting and displaying data
Octavian, If you wish to avoid WYSIWYG editors and stick with some thing ASCI-based, I can highly recommend Textile [1], which is distributed as part of a new PHP-based CMS called Textpattern [2]. Textile is a sort-of shorthand mark-up for converting ASCI to valid XHTML. This is a paragraph with a line break, *strong* and _emphasised_ text. * this is * an unordered * list # this is # an ordered # list |tables|are|easy|too| |tables|are|easy|too| Links:http://example.com are easy too! There's a demo and lots more sample text on the Textism site [1], and you can get a copy of Textile in the (GPL) source of Textpattern.

Oh thank you. This is exactly what I need. I can create regular expressions to do the job, but I wanted some ideas for the mark points used.

[PHP] Storing, formatting and displaying data
Hi all, I would like to create a program that allow users to insert text into a database, than that text to appear in a web page formatted as HTML. It is simple to replace the end of line with br /\n in order to format that text as html, but I don't know how I could let the users to create bulleted lists, tables, etc. Lets say that the users are admins that I can trust, but they don't know HTML at all, however, they want to insert a table, or a list, etc. Are there any solutions for this? I am thinking to something like inserting table COL1##COL2##COL3 CEL1##CEL2##CEL3 /table ...for the tables, or something like that, then to make the program transform this in a true table.

For that you will need to look at a wiki, a CMS or a blogging tool that combines an html editor.

Re: [PHP] Storing, formatting and displaying data
Use WISIWYG editor, integrate it into your forms and presto, for example, from www.interactivetools.com, that does not work with tables, but you can find one, I think. -- Tadas Talaikis [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xongoo.com - Original Message - From: Octavian Rasnita [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 20, 2004 8:14 AM Subject: [PHP] Storing, formatting and displaying data Hi all, I would like to create a program that allow users to insert text into a database, than that text to appear in a web page formatted as HTML.
