About:
Smu is a lightweight command-line tool that converts plain text written in a simple, Markdown-like syntax into HTML. It prioritizes simplicity and speed, offering a minimal feature set that focuses on essential formatting elements without the complexity of full Markdown parsers. This makes it ideal for users who need quick, straightforward HTML generation from text without dependencies.

Key Features:

Minimalist syntax similar to Markdown
Fast processing and lightweight footprint
Outputs clean, semantic HTML
No external dependencies

Use Cases:

Generating HTML for static websites or blogs
Converting simple documentation to web pages
Quick text formatting for email or web publishing

Alternatives:

pandoc – Pandoc is a universal document converter supporting dozens of formats, making it much more powerful but also significantly larger and more complex than Smu.
markdown – Standard Markdown processors (like Python-Markdown) offer more features and extensions but are typically heavier and slower for simple conversion tasks.
