In my database I have product descriptions with different formatting for title, body description, etc. In the past I've done this having 3 fields (a Pre, Main, and Sub) and having each field imported and styled. This is pretty constricting though as well as bloating the database with several extra fields, so I thought about having a text field with a tagged text description in it and then scripting creation of a temp text doc, importing it, unlinking it and then using the same text file for the next entry (I wouldn't want to have thousands of files left on my hard drive). Having no tagged text experience to speak of, I have to ask: would this be functional? Is there a better way? (I do realize I could just create one text file with all the different items and import that, but this seems like it would be too clunky to keep track of)
