DESCRIPTION

txt2tags is a GPL format conversion tool written in python that generates HTML, SGML, LaTeX, man page, MoinMoin, Magic Point and PageMaker documents from a plain text file with little marks.

Different from other conversion tools, it is generic, and not target-specific (as a txt2html tool). This way, you can keep just one source text file and one tool for all your formatting needs.

It's a plain python script, so no other external commands or libraries are needed.

Supports header, title, bold/italic/underline, preformatted, quote, link, lists, bar, image and table.

With txt2tags, you focuses your mind on the document CONTENT, and forget about formatting. Just let the program do this dirty job.


QUICK SAMPLE

  1. You write this sample txt2tags file:
      ------------------------------------------------------------

        - hate to write down `<tags>` for every formatting
        - want to be happy! [happyface.jpg]
      ------------------------------------------------------------
    

  2. You run this command:
      txt2tags --type html --noheaders file.t2t
