txt2lout

[Luis Melendez Aganzo]

Hi all!

When you have a plain text file and want to process it with LOUT,
you have to make some transformations, mainly:

- Subtitute empty lines with @LP, @PP or some other paragraph-breaking
  command.

- Quote the special characters.

I have done a program that does this automatically, with some other
facilities available. Among them:

- Substitute several empty lines for only one paragraph-breaking command
- Quote whole lines in the input file
- Use prefix and postfix files

More information is in the source code. The program is called txt2lout
and you can download it via anonymous FTP in ftp.uco.es://luism/txt2lout.c

If you use it and you see any bug or you suggest soem improvement, I'd
like to hear it.
