Having looked at Markdown and Smarty that people suggested it might be
better if I bite the bullet and develop my own markup language. It would
then be easier both to limit what it allows and also to add features as
needed. I have been running some syntax tests and it seems quite easy to do
and fast to process even though the markup is currently a little cumbersome
to write.

What are the options? I was just thinking about normal text of the kind that
would appear on a web page.

Quite a lot. Things like these:
* bold, italic
* links to local pages and remote URLs
* images, code
* headers, lists, line breaks
* tables
* other things will likely be required but are not defined yet
For completeness, I should add that the markup would also need to pull in
similarly marked up text from other files and to populate tables from
databases.
