About:
txt2tags is a command-line tool that converts plain text files into various structured formats such as HTML, XHTML, LaTeX, and PDF. It uses simple markup tags to define document elements, enabling lightweight authoring without complex syntax. This makes it ideal for developers and writers who need to generate multiple output formats from a single source file.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple output formats including HTML, LaTeX, and PDF
  • Simple and intuitive markup syntax
  • No dependencies required, written in Python
Use Cases:
  • Generating documentation websites from plain text
  • Creating reports and PDFs for academic or business use
Alternatives:
  • Pandoc – More powerful and supports many more formats, but heavier and more complex
  • Markdown – Simpler syntax but less feature-rich for multi-format conversion
