I am trying to custom theme a particular content type's node page. When I leave the "print $content;" as it is, all the formatting for all the fields is intact. But in order to place different fields within different tables, I separate them by replacing the "print $content;" with "print $node->field_method[0]['value'];", "print $node->field_materials[0]['value'];" etc.

Doesnt data get stored in database with the html tags? How do I retain all that and yet be able to print each field separately?
Thanks

CCK fields generally have two parts by the time you get to node rendering. One is ['value'] and the other is ['view'] Value will have the raw value that the user entered, while view will have the themed version of the field. Try using the view component in your templates instead.
