When I set up my website I decided to keep article submissions simple and created a little plain-text markup protocol. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that someone had developed a more complete version called Textile. (Syntax is, for example, *bold*, _italic_, +underline+, etc.)

I was further pleased to learn that someone had done a port for Drupal. I find the WYSIWYG editors too slow and erratic, BB code and HTML a bit cumbersome, but Textile is rather easy to write.

One thing I'd like for the Textile module, though, is to enable/disable the range of the markup for different users. PMs and forum posts, for example, would use a subset. Writers and editors would have access to the full complement.

Anyone have similar inclinations, and has any work been done in this area?
