Can a database field support HTML content?

Can a database field support HTML content?
I want to use links sql to enter some News Articles. The news articles need simple HTML formatting like <p>, <strong>, <img src=> etc..

If you enter HTML tags in the field for the text content, will the template engine parse it properly and output HTML on the page?

Thanks for any input on this issue.

I am not sure.. but I think it can, cuz if there are many people who prefer to fill in "description" of the listing using html tags in it and it displays html formated content.

Need Scripts

I've just been playing around, and you can. One note tho, if you want to place images in there, make sure you know where Links is going to place your article, so the location of the images will be correct... just trying to save you a little time now ;)
