It must be a pain to make a text box with the ability to add bold, italic, heading, etc. you know? All the bold text, italics, and headings would need to be saved in a database column to be retrieved later in their correct positions.

I don’t know, I am doing internship learning C# ASP (started 2 months ago), and just got a “Shower Thought” while making an edit post function.

    I came across something like that in a proprietary “epub” format. Not because of formatting/styling but because of crossreferencing and footnotes it stored every word in a database with its position.
