Have you checked out any of the already-existing "text
to html" converters out there?

I've been trying out various template/markup schemes
for my own webpages (since hand-coding html simply
doesn't scale beyond a few pages), and I came across

Anyhoo, I'm not sure where you're at with a decision on
this, but I just wanted to let you know that this wheel's
already been invented a few times already.  :^)
