    You’d save it to the database in the same field as the rest of the text. You don’t store the positions or anything like that - you’d store the text with HTML and have the front end render it as expected.

    For instance, the database could have the following text:

    Hello <strong>World</strong>
    

    And the front end just renders HTML.

    Alternatively, you could store Markdown syntax if you’re hesitant to allow HTML.

    EDIT: as always, if you store raw HTML, don’t forget to sanitize it.






  • That’s not a money reason or a store related reason. That’s really on the developer. Mac is a different architecture. Often times Mac versions require extra development.

    Linux is gaining more ground not because of a store or the developers themselves, but because Proton makes the windows versions of games run on Linux.

    My argument was about exclusivity deals, not technical compatibility.
