Hello!

I am thinking of a way to define my own tags like <my_tag> or {my_tag}
or something like that, and later substitute these with real html
code.

For example, lets say I have a code snippet:
{content_title}The Title{/content_title}

Before echoing it out, I would do the following substitution:
{content_title} = <table class="title_table"><th><td>
{/content_title} = </td></th></table>

This is a very simple example. But in a big site with many of the same
components, such a scheme would make sense to alter the page layout
pretty quick.
Are there some helper classes or functions, or perhaps a whole package
already for such a task?
Or should I simply create the content with my tags and then subsitute
all my tags with the real html code via preg_repalce function before
printing it out? If yes, are there any better performance options
instead of using preg_replace?
