Hiya,

I haven’t dealt developed many applications in any language so I’m a bit  
clueless as to the aspects I need to be thinking about when uploading to  
my app. I have the upload in place and it uploads the files chosen to  
the file system, my original plan being .html and .txt allowed, but oce  
uploaded users have the opportunity to edit the upload in fckeditor,  
which works fine for .txt (except all specing and new lines etc have  
been removed) but the .html files appear static and cant be edited.  
Would the best way to handle these documents be stripping any html tags  
and making them plain text or unifying them in some other way possibly?

Any advice is brilliant, thank you!
