In terms of the form field, use a text area with virtual wrap for pasting
large amounts of text. I have programmed several of these 'publishing
systems' successfully using forms, CF and a database.

Subject: Upload and retrieval of stories?
Hi all,
I'm developing a site that will feature short- to medium-length
stories from lesser-known authors. I have designed a page that will
serve as a template, into which I will insert the material contributed
from the authors. I would rather that this process of inserting
content not be a manual one. In fact, I would like the programmatic
solution to include a web-based administrative interface. Normally,
this might consist of some forms and CF or PHP, allowing the user to
upload content to a database, where the material could then also be
made available to the templates for the dynamic creation of pages.
However, form fields seem to have a rather small character limit,
preventing one from simply pasting an entire story into them. This
isn't really what I want to do anyway. Has anyone devised a good
process for accomplishing something similar? Perhaps there's no reason
to store this material in a database, anyway? I'd be very interested
to hear your suggestions.
Thanks,
Steven
