Formatting text only with CSS

I run a site where users submit basic news articles. I want to add some formatting features for their submissions.

Is it possible to add custom formatting to text only using CSS?

For example, user can add:

**This should be bold**

And the text appears bold. Or user adds > at the beginning of the paragraph:

> This could be a lengthy paragraph

And the paragraph is aligned to the center.

Is such thing possible to do?

It's not possible using pure CSS. You have to use Javascript or JQuery or process your custom tags in Server-Side and render them as html and css as you want.

No it is not. You will need javascript or php to replace ** with <b> for example. Otherwise your users would need to put in <b>Hello</b>
