I haven't played with this previously. I think a good way to start would be to set up the following Drupal modules and try putting up a few licenses with simple and complex formatting needs: https://drupal.org/project/markdown https://drupal.org/project/markdowneditor https://drupal.org/project/bueditor https://drupal.org/project/ajax_markup https://drupal.org/project/bueditor_plus
Thanks very much to John Sullivan for the offer of assistance which I will be taking up after I return from vacation in the second week of January.
