Since the volume will be "more than a few", I'd make sure you do any data manipulation
ON THE WAY IN.
It will cost too much to do it on the fly while displaying. For now, we will get it
working this way.
But to recap.
1. pull data from db
you obviously know how to do this
2. remove any tags not in the following list: <b></b><i></i><a href="etc"></a><img
src="etc">
here, use the function from Isaac: <cfset thedata =
striptags("allow","a,b,i,img",thedata)>
3. display the resulting data as HTML
<cfoutput>#theData#</cfoutput>
That should be all there is to it.

I'm having difficulty ONLY allowing the following characters:
<b></b><i></i><a href="etc"></a><img src="etc">
Right now, I have nothing allowed, but I'd like to allow linking and
images, at the very least and the others are a bonus. So, I don't want
to allow things like <td> that isn't closed--because it can break the
display. No one wants that, you know?
As far as volume, the site seems to be growing pretty quickly, so I'd
say that it'll be a medium volume site.
