I do regular writing in plaintext myself, no word processors. The tool I found that makes it all easy is txt2tags, at http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/ (iirc, if that link is wrong, a quick googling will turn up the site).
It's a little python script that takes a text file written in simple wiki-like markup (very similar to wikipedia markup), processes it, and can produce html, xhtml, magicpoint slide shows, and LaTeX. Of course, once you've got it in LaTeX form, you can do almost anything with it, except make a Word document, but if you're using a text processor, why would you need Word for anything other than to view documents people send you? ;) My website is generated from txt2tags source using a python wrapper I built that scans and builds. http://www.davefancella.com Dave On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 4:01 PM, Diana <[email protected]> wrote: > > Just got a new macbook pro and the first thing I did (after downloading > Firefox and plugins) is download Textmate.
