A quick guide showing the new features for this version. For a complete list of all the changes, see the ChangeLog.
About Lout:
Lout is a document format that is similar to LaTeX. The text is tagged using "@tag{}" instead "\tag{}" and can generate formulas, figures, graphics, tables and more. Its power is compared to LaTeX and it is more compact and simple to use. But Lout is not so known and don't have a huge user base. Please go to the Lout site for more information: http://snark.ptc.spbu.ru/~uwe/lout/
The lout
command (available for UNIX and Linux) convert the .lout
files to Postscript (.ps), PDF and clear text. Now with txt2tags
generating Lout files, you just have to use the lout command to create
professional documents, with paging and index.
Note: The table support is not done yet.
With the -style
option you can use external CSS files in your HTML
and XHTML documents to improve their appearance. Using together the
new --css-inside
option all the CSS file contents is embedded into
the (X)HTML document headers. This way all the contents and formatting
are saved on the same file, so you don't have to provide the separate
CSS file.
This feature is useful when you need to use CSS formatting in a single (X)HTML file, so you can distribute just one file (HTML) and not two (HTML+CSS).
The program now searches for the RC configuration file location on the
T2TCONFIG
environment variable.
If it exists, the configurations are read from the file path it is
informing. If not, the default places are tried: ~/.txt2tagsrc
on
Linux and %homepath%\_t2trc
on Windows.
Besides the current languages, now the program interface and messages are also translated to:
