Thanks treenef.

I wasn't aware of bbcodes, so that's helped me get some more interesting results from Google straight away. To put things in context, this is for an in-house system with very few users with password access only. Basically one or two people are going to be using it to input property and project details and i wanted to give them a bit more freedom as to adding lists and subtitles and the odd pullquote. This is then fed to a specific template which is the same for all publications.

There won't be any nested bbcode and it's only applicable to a single textarea which in turn is just one section of a larger template. Main titles and such are inputed in their own fields. Basically, all users are already trusted and if they wanted to do anything malicious, there are many other ways to do it that don't involve injecting code.

I'll check out Wordpress shortcodes, but that still might be overkill for what i'm trying to do. Do you have any other observations now that the application is clearer?

Many thanks for your time
