Greetings,

I've just put online a post explaining how and why I used txt2tags to
put together a book:

http://freesoftware.zona-m.net/how-transform-almost-plain-ascii-text-lulu-ready-pdf-files-part-1

Thanks for this great tool, please always keep it as simple as it is
today, e.g. only one script that will work out of the box without
weird dependencies, wherever there's a Python interpreter

Hi Marco,

What a great article you've made, thank you very much! I've put a link
for it in the docs section of the (new .org) txt2tags website and will
make a blog post about it in the txt2tags blog.

I'm very glad txt2tags fit your needs and helped to get you a full
book at the end! I've also written a full book as text (in Vim) and
txt2tags saved the day to convert it to PageMaker 6.0 (the publisher
tool at the time, in 2001). It's really nice to NOT using a word
processor in the writing process.

Your wishes will be respected, that's exactly my goal. It's really
hard to keep things simple, the temptation to add features is always
there.

By the way, in part 3 of your article I saw that you remove headers
and footer in LaTeX output with your shell script. Maybe you could use
the txt2tags --no-headers option instead to avoid this extra step?
