I only suggested a handler because the OP was comparing to PHP which, as far as I know, uses a handler and not an output filter. Is there any documentation about when to use one over the other?

You use an output filter. Relevant examples in the current codebase include mod_includes, which parses tags in a manner similar to what the OP seems to envisage, and mod_proxy_html which uses a markup-aware parser that feeds each <...> as an event to your registered callback. Either of those modules would be a startingpoint to look at. -- Nick Kew
