Down that path madness lies. It's far better to just
store the text in a database, possibly marked up in one of the "simple"
markup languages like markdown, and serve it up as required. If you use a framework that uses the active record
pattern (like, maybe
Django) then you never even see the database. Objects just appear when
you ask for them, and you call save() on them when you're done.
Some people just seem to like doing things the hard way.
I daresay ;-)
However, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
