It must be a pain to make a text box with the ability to add bold, italic, heading, etc. you know? All the bold text, italics, and headings would need to be saved in a database column to be retrieved later in their correct positions.

I don't know, I am doing internship learning C# ASP (started 2 months ago), and just got a "Shower Thought" while making an edit post function.

Nobody does that. People simply store HTML, Markdown or BB code. Check out TinyMCE, Milkdown, tui-editor, stackedit... all of them have a "see source" button and you'll see the text with the formatting code right there.
