My recommendation - Store the text as XML and use XSLT to render it to XHTML and use CSS to make it look pretty.

Some fields of the reports are html documents edited by the dodctors. The question is : Is there any technology that let separate from an html document the plain text and layout information? The idea is enable to store plain text and layout info separately and, when we need to show the report, automatically mix them to obtain the original html document. Any idea on how to acompplish? Thanks in advance Xoan
