Articles stored in a database

by hugh . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

Hello,

I am developing a web application for my wife’s medical practice which
will store various articles and informational pieces. I am wanting to
make these documents searchable and am considering storing them in a SQL
Server database. My problem is how achieve the formatting. I am wanting
to deliver a a formatting similar to the articles in TechRepublic such as:

https://www.techrepublic.com/article.jhtml?id=r00820011024ern01.htm

I am not sure that the above example is database dirven but I suspect it
is. I see that each article allows the embedding of graphics and other types of formatting (bolding, bulleting, hyperlinks). I also see that the articles allow for a type of page break. One of my thoughts was to store the articles within
the table in HTML format, but I am not sure how effective this will be.

Any input would be enormously appreciated. Thanks for your consideration.
