title: Database for Content - OK to store HTML?
body: <p>Basic question is - is it safe to store HTML in a database if I restrict who can submit to it?</p>
  
  <p>I have a pretty simple question.  I provide video tutorials and other content.  Without spending months writing a proper BBCode parser, I would need to store the HTML so I can have it look exactly the way I want when I grab it from the database.</p>
  
  <p>Basically I plan to store all information in the database about a tutorial series and each episode.  I would like to have some formatting for the descriptions for both so I can add multiple paragraphs, ordered and unordered lists, links to required resources, and so on.</p>
  
  <p>I am using PHP and creating my own database.  I am using phpMyAdmin to store the information in the table right now.  I will use a user with read only rights when I pull the information in the PHP code.  </p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to do this?  Thank you!</p>
