I was reading through the PHP/Mysql tutorial for database driven
websites and I must make an observation.  Part of the tutorial
talks about setting it up to where you needed to know zero html
for the article submitter to be able to get it to format. The
only problem I see is that all you are doing is replacing html
with other tag like code. This seems unecessary to me as alot of
people already know basic html needed to format text and if they
don't they still have to know the code you come up with.
Wouldn't it just be easier to give the submitter a cheat sheet
on html then to have to give them instructions on how to add
something that you made up off the top of your head?  I may be
wrong but are there any other advantages to doing this rather
than just using basic html?  CoolResources.com -- Part of the
