Simple mark-up for CMS

[Geoff Soper]

I'm designing/coding a content management system in PHP and am
currently considering how the users will add textual content. I would
like them to be able to use some kind of simple mark-up, like a very
limited subset of HTML, probably with a more friendly naming scheme.
Does anybody have experience of such a thing? I'm thinking an XML
application is the proper answer but when I consider the DTD and
parser it seems like an overkill solution if I'm starting from
scratch.
Does anybody have any advice or suggestions on this? I'm sure it's
been done before but I don't know where to look, is there something
existing I can use or adapt? Has anybody tried this kind of thing
before?

I'd really appreciate any kind of help in this,
Geoff
