one large body of text with a mostly consistent ruleset that can possibly be extracted (at least in part) is RFCs, another is unix man-pages. other rulesets may exist. however, please keep in mind that the target userbase where this parser is to be applied is a website with user input either in a textarea in a forum or as email.
