While it does appear to be plain XML, you'll want to be certain. What sorts of situations are going to be considered an error (e.g. tags out of order, mismatched tags, invalid characters, ...)? Are there any special cases you'll need to handle?
The devil is in the details, as they say. So if you keep to the same rules and conventions as XML, things will be pretty simple using the suggestions you've already received. However, if you have to do any special case handling, your life can quickly become difficult.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
