CMS is just a term for fancy text editor.  I would check around to see  
if you can just find an off the shelf product and play with it.  There  
is usually no reason to reinvent the wheel unless it is going to  
outperform your current competitors.  Drupal (my current punching bag)  
can take a beating and then some and is flexible enough to allow you  
to customize it to your content.  Now I don't want to discourage you  
from learning about the inner workings of a fancy text editor because  
it is good knowledge to have but keep in mind that the time you spend  
reinventing the wheel could be spent improving the current wheel which  
is already stable and works (and has a good support base).
