What's this?

The txt2docbook tool allows one to convert a ascii (README-like) file to a valid docbook xml document. It simplifies the publishing of rather small papers significantly. The input format was inspired by the APT-Convert tool from http://www.xmlmind.com/aptconvert.html .

For now, only a perl version is provided. If i receive enough responses, it might be possible to port it to another language as well.

What's the input look alike?

Just take a look at the documentation: view it either as sourcecode or as generated html.
