From that, I developed the following habits for hyphen/dash usage: - A single hyphen for combined words: "blue-green" - A double hyphen for numerical ranges: "50--100" - A triple hyphen---in other words, a dash---as a grammatical construct, as in this bullet point Of course, LaTeX transformed those strings of hyphens into lines of increasing length for the printable output. But I personally adopted the convention even for plain text (such as emails), and now it's virtually impossible for me to not do that. And for what it's worth, I've noticed that the auto-correct features in Microsoft Outlook seems to follow somewhat similar rules... I haven't taken the time to figure out exactly what does what, but there is definitely a distinction between hyphens and dashes. I can't seem to find if there is any similar convention in txt2tags. In fact, the double hyphen gets interpreted as strikethrough. So I was just wonderi</pre> Matt Garman 2013-04-11T21:26:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.txt2tags/389 <pre>Hi, I would like to create a python script that uses a variable as input for txt2tags without the creation of a t2t file.

I'm trying to find a way to get interpreted marks inside a title tag or a named link. For example, say I want a section of my document to have the title Why *Wuthering Heights* should not be taught in school Doing this the naive way == Why //Wuthering Heights// should not be taught in school == doesn't work, because marks are not interpreted inside of title tags. The only thing I've been able to figure out is to use a postproc filter like %!postproc(html): "TAG{(.*?)}" &lt;\1&gt; and then use this inside the title tags: == Why TAG{i}Wuthering HeightsTAG{/i} should not be taught in school == Of course, this makes me sad for many reasons. A similar problem happens in named links, and I'm sure in many other places where marks aren't interpreted. I've looked and looked and can't find a nice way to do this. Does anyone have any advice for me?

I DO know about this VI/VIM macro (if that's the correct name): http://txt2tags.org/tips.html#html-to-t2t but I am looking for a way to do everything in a shell script, not interactively inside VI or VIM I have found this suggestion on how to run vi inside a shell script: http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/use-vi-within-script/29184.html but I can't find a way to adapt that trick to load a local copy of this file http://txt2tags.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/extras/unhtml.vim and execute it. Is it possible? If not, could that unhtml.vim file be loaded/executed via awk, sed, whatever... with as little editing as possible? If that isn't possible either, are there other already tested ways to automatically convert an HTML file to t2t markup from inside a shell script?

It might need to go to the devs list I have an old E61 Nokia phone, I can run python 1.4.5 on it. I've tried in the past to get an older version of txt2tags to run on it. I never got it to run, from memory I tried to import as many modules as I could see mentioned. I almost got it to run in the past but I think the problem is there is no command line interface. Python script shell 1.4.5 and python for d60 is installed. So sorry for the odd request has anyone got an idea how to get the thing to work?

There is already https://txt2tags.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/extras/unhtml.vim but the result is not always clean and it's not scriptable. Pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) can also convert from html to several other formats, but I didn't manage to adapt it to txt2tags (it seems complicated to compile so I didn't go furthen than a simple installation) But I've just discovered this handy piece of software: http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-WikiConverter/ It converts from html to some wiki formats, such as dokuwiki or mediawiki.

Fioretti 2012-06-18T17:28:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.txt2tags/343 <pre>Hey guys, it's me again. I was creating a "config" file to be used in all the documents in a project and one thing I wanted to do was "auto-anchor" titles. I have titles like so: = An Awesome Heading = and I have the following preproc so far: %%!preproc: '^=+(.*?)=+$' '\g&lt;0&gt;[\1]' This gets me this far: = An Awesome Heading =[ An Awesome Heading ] I can easily modify the regex to remove the outside spaces: = An Awesome Heading =[An Awesome Heading] but that doesn't quite cover it. Is there a way to strip spaces (and other bad characters) from a section of a line. I have considered brute-forcing it but that isn't pretty and can only handle a set amount of words. %!preproc: '^=+\s*(\S*?)\s*(\S*?)\s*(\S*?)\s*(\S*?)\s*=+$' '\g&lt;0&gt;[\1\2\3\4]' This last one works but is super ugly.

The biggest thing that I would like to see is some sort of named sections. For example if I want to put a warning or sidenote it would be nice to have it delimited by a colored box or other thing. I noticed that a lot of output formats support some time of section or division that can be styled. If I want to limit my docs to html I can simply use: ''&lt;div class="warning"&gt;'' and ''&lt;/div&gt;'' but then I can only get html output (and AFAIK there are no conditional macros). I think that this is a common feature and it would be nice to have some syntax for it. My first thoughts are "{{class text}}" for inline and "{{{class line" for one line and "{{{class" closed with "}}}" for multi-line. I chose braces because they have different opening and closing allowing nesting and I tried to match your syntax for quoted and non-parsed areas. Also the name-space combination matches links. </pre> Kevin 2012-05-25T23:40:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.txt2tags/329 <pre> Thanks for the reminder Florent. Txt2tags deserves a hard work week(s?) to prepare the multitude of changes for a release. There's so many news that it's even hard to choose where to start. This time, I can't do it alone. I need help. 1) The test suite is broken — (cd test ; ./run.py). It needs to be fixed and all tests should pass OK. It the problem is the test, such as it's OK-template is not updated, just fix the template. If the problem is the wrong txt2tags behavior, fix txt2tags. 2) Changelog — We need to track changes since r382. Here's a good link to start: http://code.google.com/p/txt2tags/source/list?num=25&amp;start=406 Any effort to summarize the changes or at least highlight the important ones will be appreciated. Things such as new targets, new marks, new options, new rules are the most important. 3) Code isolation — Ideally all the new features added to txt2tags since v2.6 should be, were possible, isolated in it's own class or function.
