What is it? =========== 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. What's new in 0.2? ================== There's a new demo directory with some examples, which also double as regression tests. There are two new features: Glued matching (for making sure two features occur side by side) and indentation parsing (for implementing nested structures based on indentation). Although the indentation functionality works well, it is still a bit experimental. Feedback is appreciated on how it might be expanded (or modified) to be of more practical use. Where can I get it? =================== Atox is hosted at SourceForge (http://atox.sf.net) and the current release (0.2) is available for download via its project page (http://sf.net/projects/atox). -- Magnus Lie Hetland "The mind is not a vessel to be filled, http://hetland.org but a fire to be lighted."
