Seeing as these all exist as products already you might want to look at how 
they've been done.

By "formatting" you mean linebreaks? These vary from platform to platform 
so it's not a good idea to rely on them anyway. Look at the following rows 
I stored without doing anything special:

select * from whatever:

This is "text"
This is 'text'
a new line\n

What's missing?

You definitely shouldn't use <dtml-var> because it's unsafe.
