Dynamic text format

[RyanG24]

Hi i have a coldfusion website which has static text on a page, i want this text to be editable when the administrator logs in

if i have column in my table for the text and display it, it will not be formated ie bold font etc

is there a way of doing this?

If you are trying to avoid the use of a database to modify the content of a website the other option would be using <CFFILE> and <CFDIRECTORY>. You could have a folder which contains text files and the CF document would simply include them into the table's column. To edit the static text files you could just list the files with <CFDIRECTORY> and then use a form with <CFFILE> to edit the files.

You should check out web based WYSIWYG editors, that's likely what you need if I am reading your post correcly.
