Atox is a framework for automated markup. With it one can quite easily write custom scripts for converting plain text into XML in any way one wishes. Atox is normally used as a command-line script, using a simple XML language to specify the desired transformation from text to markup, but it is also possible to build custom parsers using the Atox library. The name (short for ASCII-to-XML) is inspired by such UNIX tools and system functions as atops and atoi.
Atox is hosted at SourceForge (http://atox.sf.net) and the current release (0.1) is available for download via its project page (http://sf.net/projects/atox).
Feedback is much appreciated.
