Pieter, Have you looked at the Text_Wiki <http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Wiki>PEAR package? I haven't used it, only read some of the documentation. However, it looks like it's well organized. It's broken down into parsers and renderers and it's extensible in that new parsers and renderers can be created. It appears to have built in parsers and renderers for BBCode, Cowiki, Dokuwiki, Mediawiki, and Tikiwik. A port of this (or a similar concept) might be nice to have in Zend Framework. I'm not sure what it would be called, but maybe something along the lines of Zend_Parser, Zend_Parser_Bbcode, Zend_Parser_MediaWiki, etc. The key point being that it should be built to be extensible to new parsers and renderers, not the specific name chosen.
