 * Hello,
 * Let’s say you have a site about recipes. And a typical post will feature a recipe.
 * Assume recipes come with structured data such as
 * recipe name
    ingredients directions cook time level of ease
 * In a typical web app, you’d have a db table to store data and then you’d programmatically
   output the structured data in the corresponding table cells to create the output
   layout.
 * In wordpress, how do you do that with just a WYSIWYG editor? Can this be pulled
   off with custom post types? Is this all custom post types are all about?
 * And also if a visitor ( a subscriber ) is submitting her own recipes, how does
   that work? How do I get that structured data? even if I were to build a web form
   asking for that data ( recipe name, cook time etc ) in which table do I store
   it? & who creates that table? i’m guessing it is not the wp_posts!
 * is what I’m asking cannot be done with WP?

 * MHalukK,
 * It sounds like you need Magic Fields: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/magic-fields/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/magic-fields/)
   and for the most part this can be done.

 * But that plug in only makes custom fields creation easy. right? With wp3, that’s
   already easy.
 * What I was trying to ask, where is all that data stored? In a separate table?
   And do we use a form builder to build the form?
