Hi, I'm about to start on a simple django-based blogging engine (I'm sure there are already many out there, but I want to have a go a creating one from scratch). I'm planning on using Markdown (lightweight markup language) for creating blog posts, but I'm not sure what to store in the DB.
One option would be to store the Markdown data in the DB, then convert it to HTML on the fly, but this could impact on performance and seems unnecessary (converting every post every time a page is viewed). Another option would be to convert it to HTML when the post is created, and store HTML in the DB. The problem with this is that it would mean that the post couldn't be edited in Markdown - it would be stuck as HTML. The option I'm leaning towards is storing both HTML and Markdown in the DB - the HTML would effectively act as a cache of the page, whenever the Markdown is edited the HTML would be regenerated. However, this means that I'm storing everything twice. Is there a standard way of doing this? What to Wikis do about this? I've done a lot of Googling but I can't seem to find anything that helps me too much.
