At some point, you might want to look at TML (Tim Bradshaw,
vice Erik Naggum), in which you would write that thusly:

    <foo|This is some <i|italic> text>

Tim's TML (for better or worse) also permits HTML-style attributes,
which are evaluated as Lisp expressions, e.g.:

    <foo|This is some <font :color "red"|bright red> text>

Tim's company uses TML as the master entry format for a sizable
body of documentation, which is (like yours) post-processed into
several forms...
