Txt2tags is a document generator. It reads a text file with
minimal markup as ``**bold**`` and ``//italic//`` and converts it
to the following formats:

   ASCII Art
   AsciiDoc
   Creole 1.0
   DocBook
   DokuWiki
   Google Wiki
   HTML
   LaTeX
   Lout
   MagicPoint
   MoinMoin
   PageMaker
   PmWiki
   Plain Text
   SGML
   UNIX Manpage
   Wikipedia / MediaWiki
   XHTML

You can use it as a Web component (PHP), as a GUI application
(windows and buttons) or as a command line program.

Quick sample for the command line usage:

1. Write a text file like this (leave 1st line blank):

```
= Hello =
I'm a robot. You're my **master**!
[smile.jpg]
```

2. Run this command:

``` txt2tags --target html --no-headers file.t2t

3. The result is:

```
<H1>Hello</H1>
<P>
I'm a robot. You're my <B>master</B>!
<IMG ALIGN="middle" SRC="smile.jpg" BORDER="0" ALT="">
</P>
```
