Formatted text input

[benkayuk]

My site has a very basic admin area, with text boxes in a form to add data to
the database.

However, I have to enter the text with all the html formatting to make words
bold, create line breaks etc.

How can I get a box to automatically enter the html formatting in the
database? A bit like posting here!

Thanks in anticipation,

Ben

You will just need to embed some of the free or paid HTML-editors with your
<textarea> form tag. Check the link:

The downloaded files has a documentation on how to use the editor in your
pages.
