About

Txt2tags is a GPL format conversion tool written in Python that generates HTML, XHTML, SGML, LaTeX, Man Page, MoinMoin, Magic Point and PageMaker documents from a 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.

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

Here you find a "one-click", self-contained installer for Windows. For informations about txt2tags use, please, visit the official site.

Download

1. Chose the best version for your needs (with or without Python).
2. Donwload it.
3. Run program.
4. That's all.

Compact version

This version is for computers that already have Python installed.

Full version

This is the stand-alone version of txt2tags. For computers that don't have Python installed.

Running txt2tags from DOS prompt

If you run txt2tags from a console window, no messages will be displayed from the program. It's a pythonw.exe 'feature'. Some workarounds:

• Download t2t.exe (6KiB) {include in version 2.1+} program and save where txt2tags.exe was installed. From DOS prompt type t2t (not txt2tags or txt2tags.exe). The syntax is the same. e.g. t2t --help. The source of t2t.exe (you'll need MingW to compile).

• If you are an Emacs user, just open an eshell (M-x eshell), change to directory where txt2tags was installed, type ./txt2tags --help and be happy.
