Hi,
New to php and mysql but I got a question:

Lets say I am creating a database table with coulmns like in below for a news 
portal website:

story title 
first paragraph
second paragraph
third paragraph
...
...
contact info

I would want the title display in some format and paragraphs in another format 
and the contact info another etc...

My question is: 

If lets say there needs to be a list item in between two paragraphs (but this 
wont be the case always), can I insert that list within the paragraph text in 
the database within the paragraph such as
<ul>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
 , and it will display as a list in the website? Or do I need to have a 
seperate column in the table for a listed item? But the location and size of 
list item (if any) will be different for each article. So I thought I should 
not make a column for listed items, but insert in one of the paragraph columns. 
So the question is will it display correctly and how can I do that?

How about inserting a picture to the article (again, only some articles will 
have a pic), should I have a seperate column for picture (display location can 
be fixed) so that column will be blank for an article with no picture, but it 
will pull up the picture if there is any. Is my thinking right?

Thanks

Matt
