txt2tags

Txt2tags is a document generator created by Aurelio Jargas in 2001. It reads a text file with minimal markup such as **bold** and //italic// and converts it to many formats, such as:

  • AsciiDoc
  • DocBook
  • HTML
  • LaTeX
  • MoinMoin
  • UNIX man page
  • Wikipedia/MediaWiki
  • …and many others.

Txt2tags is available in two different versions, which are branches inside this repository.

Branch v2, txt2tags version 2.7-dev

Full featured txt2tags version that works on Python 2.

  • Runs on Python versions 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7.

  • Many years of development and contributions since txt2tags version 2.6 from 2010: bug fixes, new features (templates, remote files, more macros), new targets (bbcode, CSV, HTML5, Markdown, RTF, ReStructuredText, …) - see changelog

  • No official release for txt2tags version 2.7 yet, use the GitHub code.

  • The maintainer is Florent Gallaire.

Branch v3, txt2tags version 3.x

Simpler txt2tags version that works on Python 3, branched off from txt2tags version 2.6.

  • Runs on Python versions 2.7 and 3.x.

  • Removed features (GUI, macros, i18n, translations, ASCII Art/PageMaker/XHTML targets) and only supports UTF-8 files, to achieve easier maintenance (see changelog).

  • New releases are available as PyPI packages.

  • The maintainer is Jendrik Seipp.
