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.

So long as you have robust data sanitization on the backend to prevent XSS and HTML injection attacks...

If you can get away with just using Markdown, you should definitely use that instead of full HTML.
