txt2lrf - New and Improved

txt2lrf now supports a lightweight markup language. It has two main design goals:
  1. To allow you to create good looking TXT files that can be read directly as TXT files on a computer screen.
  2. Enable the easy conversion of TXT into nicely formatted LRF

These design goals make it a particularly useful tool for those of you that find creating HTML files by hand too tedious.
Some of the features that the markup supports:
  • Lists
  • Tables
  • Images
  • Automatic TOC creation

Automatic TOC creation makes this an excellent replacement for BookDesigner for those of us who don't use Windows, especially since it supports inline images and tables.

Look at the attached demo for to understand the basic syntax. For full details see: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

The improved txt2lrf is part of libprs500 v0.3.53 and higher. It can be run from the commandline as
Code:
txt2lrf myfile.txt

File Type: txt demo.txt (1.7 KB, 1949 views)
File Type: lrf txt2lrf.lrf (15.4 KB, 2183 views)
