Re: Need advice on best format to store raw article content

You should store your content as hierarchically structured XML, not just XHTML, which permits a linear structure.

See a new article on XML.com
(http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/06/12/ietf.html) which refers to
http://simonstl.com/articles/cxmlspec.txt and http://www.imc.org/ietf-xml-use/draft-hollenbeck-ietf-xml-guidelines-04.html both of which are XML guidelines with fairly general applicability.

For articles you could just use the NITF news article DTD, or the Simplified DocBook XML DTD.

Alternatively, I have created a WebDoc DTD which is based on XHTML 1.0 Strict, with extensions to enforce hierarchy and Dublin Core metadata elements.
I have put some preliminary materials online at http://www.xmlw.ie/webdoc/, including the DTD and an XSLT stylesheet to convert it to HTML.
