I would suggest using XML markup instead. Given a decent XML editor, the
chances are that fewer keystrokes will be required than for your proprietary
markup, and errors will be spotted sooner and identified more directly. 

But if you prefer to use your own markup, then converting it using
xsl:analyze-string isn't difficult.
