Not necessarily. Assuming you want to be able to enter text areas and the like (or any html actually) in your textarea, using htmledit format will allow you to enter it once -- but never update it after the fact because when you save it the 2nd time, it's no longer html code. The email I just sent off a moment ago explains a method (afaik the only method) of preserving the content in its original format, so it's still viable as html even after it's been saved several times.
