easier. we use internally the wiki-format, during the output step we use 
jeff's XmlElement library which is able to dump as valid XML or HTML.

e.g. you can save as HTML or XML and convert to other formats externally.


BTW: I recently rewrote jeff's HtmlElement library in a simple and 
reusable manner. just functions, no classes, in a syntax similar to 
perl's CGI (not HTML::Element)

for example:
   echo html_tr(html_td(array(colspan=>$colspan),NBSP));
   echo html_tr(array(valign=>"top"),
			 html_td(array(align => "right"),
  html_img(array(src=>"img/icon_ampel_rot.gif",alt => "Fehler", width => 
"20", height => "20")), NBSP, NBSP),
			 html_td(array(colspan => $colspan-1), html_div(array('class' => 
$arr['type']),$msg)));
