What we did with BE is have content field & then a content_source field
for every text field which you could use wiki or text markup with.

The html is stored in the content field for fast delivery, but when the
page is edited it is the content_source which is displayed in the format
it was entered in (be that html, wiki or plain text).

It would be cooler to translate it both ways so that you could edit it
in a wiki, store it as html and then translate that html into a wiki
when you are editing it.  That would allow you to switch markup types
mid-stream.

As far as a M8 goal, I'd also suggest running the code through something
like this to make it more consistently formatted:

It's worked fairly well for BE.
