Never store any html whatsoever in a database. HTML is presentation and is NOT data.
Except when HTML is data, e.g. CMS. And it's better to let people input that using something like TinyMCE than to let them put in <b> tags themselves and forget to close them. --
The argument over what HTML is, will never be resolved. I say it's a delivery mechanism and tags such as <b> and <i> are unwanted elements. They simply confuse/blur the purpose of the language. Cheers, tedd

HTML is a markup language used to describe the structure of a document; presentation of HTML is controlled by either a client, with optional instructions via attributes (bad) or css (good)
